  • makes me wanna go to prison

  • THERE ALL CROOKED.

  • i dont know about anyone else but they way they took the windshield on that car was wayyyyyyyyy wrong lmao.. i work at a prison and am i a firefighter as an off duty job. My prison has an EMS service that is run my minimum sec. inmate., i must say that i am constantly testing them on their knowledge and after about 3 months of working with them i told my captain that if anything ever happens to me i would rather they come than the local EMS.

  • @dknob81 my best friend was in fire camp. his training did not cause him to commit crimes. shame on you. in fact he saved my life more than once.

  • This is seriously cool. I hope that some of the guys get a chance with a fire department once they've served their time. Way to Go Folsom FD!

  • excellent opportunity for these guys. If it's anything like the wildland inmate fire crews, they EARN the right to serve, and are some of the hardest working guys around. It can really make a difference in their lives, and gives them a chance to start over, contribute something of value, and learn a valuable skill.

  • I really do like the idea, but hopefully its not one of those things where an inmate is a firefighter, then when he gets out of prison, he commits another crime so he can try and get back on the fire dept again.

  • Yeah it certainly is interesting. I like the "Bronx Bend" on the Capts helmet.
