This includes a large nunber of the permanent live-ins. A former Kentland fire chief obtained a senior chief's job in a Florida city without a college degree. Spent two decades as a county firefighter - never promoted. He was hired based on his Kentland experience.

If all you do is hang out and don't have a job that pays, you are a bum. Plain and simple. You can catch a fire everyday for a whole year, what does that get you in real life? Nothing! It's not like these firehouse fratboys are going to walk into a major city fire department as a line officer just because they were a member @ 33. The American fire service is not set up this way. Unless, you are going to get hired on at a rural fire department. What a bunch of choads. I don’t care how much fire or action that these guys see.
