For the most part, I work with a good group of guys, but one thing that drives me nuts about them is how they talk about and treat volunteer firefighters. I started out as a volly and so did a few of my coworkers, so it especially irks me when one of them talks down to a volunteer. We all do the same job, yes some of us get paid and some don't, but nonetheless the job is the same. In my opinion, Professional is an attitude, how you treat people, and how you carry yourself.....NOT getting a paycheck. Some of the paid guys I work with are as unprofessional as you can get!! I love being a volly, and I believe we have one of the best Volunteer Depts around. We have a true brotherhood that is felt all of the time, not just at Christmas dinners and council meetings. That's all I got for now, everyone stay safe!!
