Let me start by saying I work for the Philly FD. 24+ years on the job. We work a 4 on, 4 off schedule.
Today I woke up at 0530. Showered, shaved, put on my uni, went down and had breakfast. Brushed my teeth then it's off to the firehouse.
I get in early. Anywhere form 0630 to o645. I'm driving this tour, so I took the other driver's gear off. While doing this a guy from another platoon (we have 4)
showed up and asked me what I'm doing there. I told him it's my first day work. I pulled the truck outside, all the while he's filming me with his cell phone. It was then that I realized I'm due back tomorrow, not today.
I pulled the truck back inside, then came home. I did get a call from my Captain busting my balls about working OT today.
It will be entertainment for months (or even years) at my FH.
