I’m sure Freddie Mercury gets whatever he wants.
Freddy Mercury as a fireman was never a fantasy for me until now. I have to go take a shower.
Were they under pressure?
Honestly I’m sure firefighters spend most of their time being bored waiting around for a fire so they probably welcome the distraction.
And if you live in a volunteer district you can even sign up and get to ride to a real fire.
I joined last year and it was a great decision. I love getting to help my community, and I’ve made some great friends already.
Volunteer!
At a USAF civilian auxiliary encampment I got to sit in one of those big yellow airport fire trucks, the kind with the huge water cannon, bright yellow paint, slanted “cockpit” widow, joystick+cameras inside, etc. It was amazing. Then they had my squadron put on PTs, marched us in formation into a gravel drainage trap, and shot the cannon up at like 60° to create a rainstorm above us. Fun times.
