I’m working to become a firefighter in EMT class this month. Love the idea of a 48/96 schedule. Four days off at a time seems perfect. How many firefighters go out of town on their 96 off? That’s definitely how’d I’d like to spend it as long as I get enough rest.
I did 10's/14's when I got home, I used to be junk on the 2nd night and was going on 4 off. We went to 24's, 1/2/1/4 schedule. Much better rested this schedule. Neighbor across from me does 24's 1/1/1/5, no thanks. That day off after first 24 is kind of a waste IMO but yeah, 5 days off. I know a dept that does 1/3/1/3 schedule 24's and 1/3/1/3 24's that start at 6p. 48's are rough and I loathe them but overtime is nice. I don't sleep good at the station, always hearing the other guys go out in the other stations, I look forward to heart friendly station alerting where I don't have to listen to anything except my own.
