Actually, black leather is NOT the way to go on the west coast - they're too heavy for brush (wildfire) operations. LA County firefighters have the option of black leather helmets and those who consider themselves "smoke eaters" often opt for them.

Gotta respect these brave heros, but I have to admit, the yellow helmets look pretty weird! Black leather helmets are the way to go!

Firefighters really are some the bravest people around. They fight FIRE for fucks sake!!! The only element that every creature on this planet is scared of.

I'm from Arizona, planning to move to LA. Do you know if you can apply to LAFD (when hiring) to be able to get an opportunity to work for them. Or do you need to be a California resident with ID only? Please let me know if you have that info.

@lazona1233 Gotta have a California Driver's License and pass an extensive background check (takes nearly a year to complete). Next hiring phase will likely begin next year.

I've been to sta 27 when I was in LA. The guys were really nice and gave us a full tour of the station and the museum. Also got to get on old boat 2. It was about a year before they retired it. They got a great group of ff's there.

Train and become certified as a Fire Marshal. Many areas you have police power and still have to maintain your firefighter certifications.

is it possible to be a full time police officer and a part time firefighter?

SpringCube 4 months ago 7

@SpringCube It is possible to be a full time law enforcement officer and a part time firefighter, but not in the City of Los Angeles. Some cities in Northern California use this exact combination of expertise.

LAFD027 4 months ago

@LAFD027 Well cool that would be awesome! I live in San Bernardino so ill check whether or not they would allow that and see what I can do. Thanks man!

@LAFD027 Are you sure? You could be a reserve officer but full time firefighter

twentyonekay 3 months ago

@twentyonekay Absolutely - but the typical employment is full time police and part time fire. Northern California has several cities that follow this protocol. Fire Captains and apparatus operators are full time, but firefighters are also police officers.

LAFD027 3 months ago

@LAFD027 i thought that you couldnt be a part time firefighter due to being oncall all the time? i plan to join LASD reserve because i dont want to pursue being a full time police officer, however cops arent on call all the time, just on shifts.

twentyonekay 3 months ago

@LAFD027 here in michigan we got people called public safty officers, they are full time police officers, but when a fire starts, they go stright to the scine in their cars and someone else brings the appratus, they also keep their gear in the back of their potrol cars.

@CleverDjembe chicks dig leo's, and FF's, and if your both! Double the action. It was a reply to a prev comment made below about no social or sex life. I had to point out that was very incorrect.

zulu547 2 months ago

@zulu547 Can't believe someone actually said that. You get to go on calls that involve dealing with people, all the guys at my station do truck checks every tuesday, BBQ's and everyones invited, they all have families, and we pretty much meet new people everyday! I'm sure that moron who said no social, sex life, or family is/was ignorant.

@SpringCube In Bucks County it is! Full Time police officers work 4 days a week and you could be a volunteer firefighter which is basically show up when you want to.

@SpringCube < There are several municipalities in CA that have dual roles. The city of Rohnert Park (Sonoma County) in the north San Francisco bay area is one such city. The RP dept of public safety officers are both full time fire and police and operate on a two week rotation. Two weeks you're a cop, two weeks you're a fireman. There are other rotations available but two weeks is the standard.

They do look similar to a wildland helmet but the helmet is the Phenix Fire Helmet-First Due Series. I have one that was given to me and it is a great helmet (in an area of Texas that is heavy on the traditional leather style of helmet...I still like the traditional leather style but only wear my Phenix helmet now). I have wanted one for years.
