    I remember the RMES, near Bragg Creek, Alberta. My dad was a captain from 1981 to 2011. As a proud "Captain's daughter", I tip my "helmet" to the crews past and present. If I designed the front shield on the helmets, mine would read "Captain, 57, RMES". Stay safe, everyone !!

      No not at all the main difference is usually the paid firefighters are always at the station and this is their full-time carrer 24 on 48 off or something similar. Volunteer firefighters usually have jobs and respond to calls when available like outside of work and stuff like that or at night. Also Volunteering is a great way to learn if being a firefighter is something you want to do proffesionally.

    Grew up in Shamokin PA and was a volunteer with the Rescue fire dept and Rescue squad for years and miss the small town FD. Volunteers do amazing work and the small towns are now hurting due the people moving out of the area and the time and length of training these volunteers must put in.

    Wanna know just one of many shitty experiences I’ve had so far? Is career firefighters hating volunteers, just didn’t expect that to be that way. Thought if you fought fire you were in a brother hood and it’s more like a family feud. Idc if your paid or not, have respect for what people do.
