đITâS OK TO HAVE FUNđ
We know Itâs ok to love the job.
But we are here to sayâŚ
Itâs ok to have fun while doing the job! Because, letâs face it, IT IS A FUN JOBâźď¸
We never wish for anyoneâs misfortune. Letâs just make that abundantly clear. But, the fact of the matter is, bad stuff and emergencies are going to happen regardless. So if we can be the absolute best at our job, enjoy the work AND help our community at the same time, itâs a win win!
âSTOP ACTING LIKE ITâS BAD TO SAY âBEING A FIREFIGHTER IS FUNââ
Yes, this job can be serious, dangerous, stressful and every other negative word you can think of to describe a job. But on the flip side, it can be the most fulfilling, rewarding, fun or any other positive word you can describe a job with!
We donât call it the best job in the world because itâs boring and NOT fun. And we SURELY do not do it for the money. We do it because we LOVE it and itâs a great time!
Helping people is rewarding.
Kicking a fire in its teeth is exhilarating.
Riding down the street on a fire truck with lights and sirens is a blast.
Being part of the brotherhood / fire family is great.
Knowing that you are truly making a difference is fulfilling.
Look, the secret is out. Yes, our job exists to help people, but firemen love this job because of the fun stuff we are able to do. And itâs ok to admit that!
âIf youâre not having fun, youâre not doing it right!â
Wise words from the late James Michael Muller
