I am pooled out to Fire Station 38 in the Harbor today and I have a female Captain I working with me. I have know her from years before when she was a firefighter/paramedic. Now she is studying for Captain II and she wouldn’t stop talking about it. I asked her if she new roof operations and ventilation procedures and she when on for a half hour about putting together a study guide and that her dad worked in construction. My mind wondered a little and when she stopped talking for a second I had a brain fart and asked another question, “do you have your opening statement down.” She went on for another half hour.
Latter that day the Light Force gets a grass fire response. We find about a 1/4 acre smoldering, not much really. But E49 in responding in the area on reported grass, it turns out it is the same incident as the one I am on. I realize that I am going to need them for water so I try to contact the captain on the radio and he doesn’t answer me. I then contact OCD and ask if they knew the status of E49, he finally answers me, but he was not real clear on what he is doing. The next thing I notice, E49 is pulling up to our grass fire. That was good, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time what was going on.
So, I have a female Captain I who can’t stop talking and a male captain from E49 that won’t respond to my questions. What do you think is the reason for that?
