I identify as QX blood, that exactly like O Positive but slightly slanted.

Speaking on the subject of summoning demons...

I find your lack of faith (in people's stupidity) disturbing.

DaVinci was also an engineer; it's hard for us to make observations without considering ways to also make ... improvements.

Fools, this is the solution when planetary systems are overrun with Cybermen. Don't you remember what was revealed when the Doctor and Clara visited Hedgewick's World of Wonders?

Lol, no. Purely volunteer. I never had problem with anyone who wanted to try to help but... y'know, sometimes you just have to ask people to leave when you catch them responding to the station because of a fire call that hadn't come in yet; and while they're telling you dispatch rang it out, dispatch literally rings it out; with him standing there. First call, only call. How bad is it to be caught at arson because you were too quick to respond to the station. That was ... 2001 maybe, he's back in now... a lieutenant.

Thanks, I stayed in for 11 years with those idgits because if I wasn't there, then no one on scene had training. Wasnt going to let the town suffer because of them. Luckily for me, they were so unqualified that if they tried to lock me in I just used training to escape. Roof collapsing and "accidentally" blocked in? Wall is just a stuck door to a FF with an axe.
Best was one structural fire, found a gun on the bed mopping up. Chief took it and was going to keep. Mentioned it to sheriff who was outside and he tried to deny it existed. Went to truck, got chief's coat off the door, gun in pocket. Sherriff now sends deputies to all their structure fires. Surprisingly, lot fewer house fires since that...

Oh, and our gear started out as the old rubber trench coats and hip boots. Took my father, brother and about 5 others to get a county ESD set up to fund us getting good Morning Pride gear (brother was a vendor for Dooley Tackaberry). The ESD is where the funds came from that the chief & secretary were embezzling.
Anyway, if you think nomex only chairs, then your experience with being in a flashover is limited to youtube videos and Google images. My coat was melted at the shoulder straps to my air pack.
I want this to be a note of caution to everyone. Praise the professional, not the profession. It's not the job that makes someone a hero, it's how they DO their job. On a bell curve, my old dept is near the bottom; th ose in the picture, in the middle; HEROS ... are usually only called so... posthumously. Ain't that a damned shame.
