Fire fighters in Madison make 60K right off the bat and when they aren't away from the job (most of their lifes) they are lying around, sleeping and farting in the beds at work.

We need to go back to the days when firefighting was a volunteer job.

@TheBrewskiBaby They do more productive work at the fire house than you think. They spend time checking the trucks, cleaning the station and even teaching fire safety to younger children. Volunteer is more for the towns that run 1-3 calls a day and don't have much intense calls.

Great video. A sad part is noticing how overweight so many firefighters are these days. I am not knocking them but the leading cause of LODD's are still heart attacks. Its a rough job and you need to stay fit for it.
