How much of your time is spent polishing the fire engine, and painting facer boards on the fire station? My friend's dad was a Firefighter for 30 years, and he said his time was evenly split between cleaning & polishing things, playing poker at the fire station, and BBQ'ing behind the fire station. He made the job sound like it's mostly just hanging out with your friends all the time, interspersed with a few moments of heroism, and a few moments of life-threatening terror.

It almost seems like a shame too leave to fight some fires.
