what's the job off a firefighter and paramedic

Lebanon Fire District - Station 31. 1050 W. Oak Street

The newest truck in our station is our latter truck 31
it has a three story long extending latter for
above fire attacking.
this truck raised up to be ruffly 1.8 million dollars
with all the gadgets on then and safety measures taken into place.

Not only do we dedicate to serve and to protect our community, we love to do it.  if we didn't like to do this their would be other people doing our jobs.  As this photo story goes on i decided to take pictures of C company ( their are three companies A,B,C).
 this shows what they do in the mornings and what they do to make sure everything is their to help out in every situation need be. shows how we clean up after the day before and what it looks like to have everything in the correct spots for easy find when directed to and just in case measures.

 this is two of our firefighters/ paramedics checking to see if anything needs replaced before the shift start. they are checking the seals and grips on the tool boxes to the left. on the right she is checking that all extra air tanks have a full charge as well as the extra lines don't have any holes or damage to the connecting spouts.

This is the front view of our fire investigation trailer.
this has everything we would need to go back and take
 pictures of the damage at a fire scene 

 this may shock a lot of people but every station has their own work out room. some are bigger than others, like this weight room is the biggest out of all the five stations Lebanon, mostly because its the main station. once a day every crew has about an hour to two hours were they can to a workout. these

mostly are done in teams for the max effort given by all and sometimes the losers of the challenges get to do a made up 5 minute course of whatever the winners decide.

 for cleaning all station has a hut were they can clean the trucks but after every fire everyone is required to show up to the main station to check in and relay what happened and how we approached the problem with a timely manner and skills to resolve it.

in these two pictures shows what we do when we arrive back at the base for the safest reason possible. one this keeps us from running people over in the bay and so we don't back up in to the other vehicles on the others side of the two way doors. as you can see the truck pulls forward to get directly in front of the door their backing up into.  just for extra safety and another set of eyes it that we use the buddy back up method. when the truck is back far enough they give the closed fist to stop then go check the front to see if the door will come down with nothing blocking it's path.

This is it for the inside look of a community fire station in Lebanon Oregon.
