[firetruckman92]

is the department mostly volunteer or mixed with volunteers and full time staff?

[ColinFWheeler]

@firetruckman92 Hi and thanks for the question. Seattle FD has an all full time staff, except for the canteen, which is operated by volunteers from the Seattle Fire Buff club.

At first when he pulled out, I thought Holy crap that's a one way street!! Epic!!!!

[ColinFWheeler]

@trainguy3 It actually is a one way street, but the Fire Dept is allowed to go in the wrong direction for a block or two on it. I believe the signals turn red at nearby intersections when the station gets a call.
