I've been a paramedic for four years now, and even to this day I still feel a little twinge of nerves when I do the pre-shift vehicle check. Most crews are really good about restock, but I work on a big station and there are always going to be a few that cut corners- and even the honest ones can forget individual items occasionally when things get busy.

We only get 15 minutes to do it all and sign out restricted meds. Even showing up early like I do it's still a race to make sure it's all definitely good to go, and there are so many bits and pieces to check, and you really don't want to go out thinking you have a tool in your toolkit that you don't actually have.

I was the smart one. Spent most of my time making coffee, restocking the fridge, bringing food in, cleaning rigs and doing laundry in between doing reports and going over training schedules, event budgets (I was on the event committee) and other miscellaneous chores around the station. Would stay there all night since we were a volunteer station, and get stuff ready for when the chief came in at 6am and I'd leave about an hour later and head home to sleep once I knew he had everything set. If I got lucky, we had a couple 2am medical calls or a downed powerline from storms in the night.

How are all the videos relatable even if you aren't going into this particular field? I laugh every time!
The overachiever thing is definitely true . We only hang rain gutters but the overachiever is definitely going to be the last one to be fired 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You have to love the "work twice as hard to avoid work" guy. Sad thing is you can find those in 10yr vets as much as probies.
Just came here to appreciate your work that not just draws a smile on faces, but also gives a better point of view of our behaviors in workplaces & overall in the community ...
It's not uncommon for any person to show any of those hilarious manners (when seen from above of course), but I believe you're giving your viewers, everyone an opportunity to rethink about their deeds & not just to act in situations ...
Thanks for the great content!
Man, I love this guy's sense of humor!
That scream at the beginning made me laugh so hard
Your facial expressions just top these videos all off! Thanks for your hard work for all these laughs!
Keep on doing what you're doing xD you rock!
You got these people in every profession. Some more than others.
After 30 years in this business, I've seen every one of these people in my career.
Which one were you when you started out?
"Early to rise, last to get fired" is pretty much how I approach every new job too. Worked so far.
Look Busy/Disappearing guy here. Thanks for putting us on blast 😂 😂 😂 😂 . Good job on this one that’s hilarious!
What ever country from whence we hail, all fire services are the same. We drink tea, talk bollocks and play the same jokes.
I was the smart one. Spent most of my time making coffee, restocking the fridge, bringing food in, cleaning rigs and doing laundry in between doing reports and going over training schedules, event budgets (I was on the event committee) and other miscellaneous chores around the station. Would stay there all night since we were a volunteer station, and get stuff ready for when the chief came in at 6am and I'd leave about an hour later and head home to sleep once I knew he had everything set. If I got lucky, we had a couple 2am medical calls or a downed powerline from storms in the night.
OMG. So many of your videos go equally well in the LEO community. Good stuff. Keep it coming.
I still think he looks like buzz lightyear 🤪
This has been bothering me from my first video! Perfection in pop culture sarcasm!
As usual, THANK YOU FOR BEING AN EXCELLENT NUT BAR! 🤣🤣🤣 SENDING LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! THANK GOD FOR YOU!!!❤❤
OMG!!
Ur vids ah funny as hell bro!!!
I wish my old man was alive 2 see them all...he was a fireman for over 30 years
In Providence,RI he would've loved ur material and have had many cool/bizzare/and unfortunately tragic
Stories which can/will reoccur from time2time to share with u bro!
Hey be safe,man lookin 4ward 2some new vids and I lmfao 🤣 😂 when u did impression of angry cops guy!!!
I'm not a firefighter, but this reminds me of when I took an advanced manufacturing class, all of my classmates were like this all the time.
The social media rookie scares me.
I feel like I'd be a pie chart of all of these in one package
you missed the "he's only allowed one question and two followups per class" rookie.
Shit... That is so me.
I was that guy in biology class,lol.
Gave me a little chuckle. Love it
We were all rookies once...best thing to do is train them.
Tones drop, new guy sprinting to truck screaming "bsi, is my scene safe" then basically licking the window the whole way to the scene only to fall out of the truck trying to get the monitor and put gloves on at the same time. I end up having to take the run due to the new guy having a panic attack. When back in quarter's, having to listen to him talk about how he would have done it different if it was his patient.
As a non-firefighter who thinks it’s the jaws of life
0:05 When in doubt use the jaws of life
jaws is like kleenex: there are a half dozen brands, but "the jaws" is universal.
@@kenbrown2808 you know that one episode of king of the hill made me type this comment
@@Jdudhhsuxbsksj the one where the faulty electrically lit picture burned down the fire station?
@@kenbrown2808 yeah but I’m talkin bout when they used the jaws to open up the fire hydrant I tell you what when I was a kid seein dat on the tv thought it was funniest thing
@@Jdudhhsuxbsksj the writers did a good job on that one.
Gosh your videos is what make my Afternoons 🥰🥰
I’m the look busy guy🤣
How do you not have more subscribers. This content is quality 👌
Hilarious, love your videos man !
0:09 the horror on your face had me in stitches
This reminds me so much of the New Airmen who joined our squadron right out of tech school,
(Although I see myself in a few of these representations)
My husband and I were on the same department and we never did that at the station. Now, 17 years married and 13 years out of the fire service, I wish we had 😉
wow. i started rideouts today and i am definetly the nervous one! only had one call so far, its 2:30 pm right now, but i am so ready for another one that preferrably isnt a dud.
I like how the "Smart Guy" was the one trying to get on everyone's good side
rookie once said I couldn't have autonomic dysreflexia because I didn't have a spinal cord injury, to myself, in a wheelchair, with a spinal cord injury, with a blood pressure of 190/130
I like that the smart rookie cooked everyone breakfast.
Loved seeing you on Ginger Billy's latest video yesterday!
Lol the mini yell. Ohhh always a good way to start 😂
The little scream in the beginning was everything!
0:35 absolutely a fire department cupboard, at least 4 different types of bowls, no matching mugs or glasses, one set of plates the same and a few more random ones lmao
I'm in the Air Force and this fits us so well too 😂 Love it!!
I love your videos!
This is hilarious, I just had a good friend become a Rookie Firefighter. I am sending this to him now 😂
The social media rookie got me 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Lmao my nephew didnt think it was that funny, but he knows what’s up.
As a perfectionist I felt called out by the max effort min work one 😅 when I worked fast food they had me close dining once… we weren’t out until after midnight. They never had me close dining again 😂
I think if my house was ever burning down & I saw you on scene, I'd fan girl majorly.!
0:30 A someone with parent instilled OCD when it comes to doing dishes I know it's a skit but it induced my anxiety and I need to know if people clean the bottom of their dishes or not.
And dont forget the: "wow its so quiet, i wish there were some fires going on. lets eat steak to celebrate my first day here, we have plenty of time now anyway"
Ah, the one guy that'll be hazed into the pits of hell until he learns his lesson. And then hazed some more because fuck that guy.
@@Canadiancoinguy I'd try that just to see what would happen 😂 I'd probably regret it though
@@PPikes Don't fuck with EMS gods, they and your co-workers will make you regret it.
@@PPikes yeah lets do that... and see how crazy stuff will get. Ill bet they will get medieval on your bacon.
we forbade a guy from saying, "hope I don't see you again, tonight; to any other crews. after the fourth call of the evening.
I'm probably the disappearing rookie. "Excuse me, I gotta go take a dump" then I sit on the toilet and turn into the social media rookie. lmao
1:04 Love the dig at the Tiktok / look at me play firefighter type
"Early to rise last to get fired" is a joke that cuts deep lol
LMFAO Isn't this true love the rookie "know it all" great video
Early to rise last to get fired! 🤣🤣🤣 got me with that one
Over the years there were way too many “look busy” rookies and vets as well as a certain shift of “Bell Shiners”. 😎
I wish I could say I'd be better then this but I'd 100% be the disappearing rookie. I'm more afraid of social interaction then a fire anyday.
Auch, the "maximum effort for minimum work" , and the "smart one" hit close to home :(
I just want to be polite and do a perfect job :/
As a new retained rookie, I'm the nervous one; it's kinda stressful to go from minding your own business to 'ye uhohs, that's the pager?!🤔😳😬🤯'
