One of the LA fire guys retired to ID. Helo pilot. His name eludes me at the moment. 😹💚

We have SO many that move to Idaho with those California safety pensions. There are active firefighters that live there and commute. That's why so many pushed for the shitty 48/96 schedule.

That's a helluva commute. And no kinda life imho, but *shrugs* 💚

I don't know for a fact; however, they likely time trade to work, for instance, a full 96. Then trade for a 144 off. Something like that. That can get you some really tired people responding to calls. That would be a nightmare to manage as a company officer!

This is not the first time I've heard of this practice. It's a danger to their coworkers & the general population imho. I'm pretty sure I know who one such dumba$$ is. 😹⚡️💚

We had a ton of forced overtime in our job which resulted in some of our folks working many hours at a stretch. As a company officer, I was sympathetic to their needs, mainly for rest! Guys that choose this? Other than obvious safety concerns, too bad, so sad. 😠

Even sadder are the ones who do it because they didn’t manage their money and need the OT. BTW I did time in Idaho (a couple years elementary/Jr High).

My former roommate was an Idaho State grad. We visited and skied around Pocatello many times.

I lived in Pocatello, 10/10 don’t recommend.
