I work 30 minutes from the FD main depot, thus I take on the night shifts.
Events are classified in 3 different levels - small, middle, big (30, 80, 160 people). Those who have the day shifts have a supportive employer - Mind you that we don't get called out too often, many things (ambulances, for example, or smaller oil spills) are being handled by professional paramedics or towing companies. We're just here for the greater stuff. Apart from that, many employers here are very supportive towards volunteer firefighting, especially since it is a way to keep a good employee.
Also I'm just a simple soldier: The higherups do have their own schedule, and have weeks when their on active duty - But since they're enough they can easily split it up between each other, so each gets their work done.
As for how it works here in CH, about 99% are volunteers, and only really big cities such as Berne and Zurich do have a full-time fire dept.

Congrats Marco it's for a good cause. I have another friend in North Carolina that is a volunteer fire fighter also and he loves it.
Someone's therapist knows all about you!

Thanks, Mike.
OT: Do you still live in SFL? Chances are I'm coming over there during the passing year.

You don't have to set it in the server anymore though. Meta tags are supported
The latest updates need 'webNavigation' permissions for reading the HTML meta tags (a feature which a lot of people were asking for).

I'm proud to say our web site has been passing that in the clacks since 2015.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I'm working on a web site at the moment and you'll never guess what's gone in...

Saw this through the joys of Reddit. Even though they are cobras, it made me smile. Enjoy! Python Programming
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

Those youngin's are all vipers. The minute they think they know something, they'll bite you and take your job. Beware of teaching!

lol. But so many younguns reckon they already know everything and don't need teaching,
and that's when one should just sit back and watch them bite themselves in the ass.

Trivia question of the moment:
What TV theme song has only 2 words?
Bonus: write the lyrics to the song

The Simpsons.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Don't watch it, so can't confirm.
Not the one I was thinking of, but, there may be other correct answers.

Very good... didn't say it wasn't repeated, just that it had two words.
Watched an episode with my 11 year old daughter this morning.. passing the torch.

Batman? (something like 'na na na na na na BATMAN!' or some such.
if I google to confirm it it'll be stuck in my head all day...
|

Google it.. you know you want to...

Had I noticed Griffs post we could have avoided all of this...
But I guess a Riddler needs a good laugh now and then... or are you some kind of Joker?

Hmm.
Not Davey Crockett[^], then, because that's repetitions of four words: "Davey", "Crockett", "dum", and "di" (they way I sing it, at least).
