You guessed the rest. Now the department’s only 4WD unit is wrecked. KIDK has the STORY.

Susan,
so you think that EMS personnel are able to carry your fat ass down a flight of stairs without working out. Oh wait I guess you dont know what staying in shape involves. I say tough break for the guys in Idaho. We live and we learn!

Hey Susan,
Just to inform you about a few things you may not know, as a member of the Fort Hall Fire and Ambulance District, it is our duty and obligation to be in a state of physical and mental readiness to carry out our jobs at the hightest levels of performance possible. Throughout the world, fire departments have time set aside for their personnel to work out. This increases stamina muscularly and cardiovascularly. It provides us with endurance and capabilities to carry on throughout a 24 hour shift. It is essential that we are fit to prevent injury and stay safe on the job. The stresses of the Fire and EMS world are numerous, many of our brethren and sisters die each year from heart attacks, accidents and suicides. A greater job, not likely. A worthier cause, there is none. Competitive to obtain? Yes. Easy? No. Rewarding? Undoubtedly. I only ask you to look past the “working out” portion of the article above and look deeper into the nuts and bolts of the world of the Fire and EMS departments in your area. You will be fascinated.
Respectfully,
Brian Curtis
Firefighter/EMT-I

again susan, do u use any of the 25% of your brain the rest of us use? do u want some obese lazy firefighters to come rescue u when u have a heart attack?
firefighter one:”bill we got a call to 3rd and apple, the church is on fire”
firefighter two:” aww dont worry, well get it tomorrow, and it will already be out too”
firefighter one” huh? good point”
that is not what i want to here when im in trouble, angain we live and learn, and were not perfect, but some of us are a bit stupider than the rest… cough cough susan cough…. not gonna mention any names though.
