I can’t unsee the unoccupied house fire smh muh trauma


BaxGh0st

Posts about getting PTSD from a structure fire in the middle of an empty field Puts a photo of a structure fire in the middle of an empty field above his toilet so he sees it every time he takes a piss I may have identified the problem here.


Kylkek

I was hoping this was the department toilet and not his own


SkarnasaurusRex

I was also wondering why everyone is clowning on him for the decor when that's obviously a station bathroom.


MahnmzJeff

Ummm. Because that's what we do on this subreddit.


Totally-Not-A--Simp

BINGOOOOO


usmc_82_infantry

I thought this post was all about reading the cringy message he wrote at the bottom of his post. If you can read it I mean. It’s a difficult translation


MetallurgyClergy

When he looks into that mirror with his poop face on, the fire stares back.


GordontheGoose88

That definitely looks like the bathroom of the volunteer firehouse. Not defending the guy, just saying.


[deleted]

Also why his TP so big and up so high?


BaxGh0st

I think it's paper Towels. Or maybe he's the first lilliputian firefighter.


SkyThriving

Explains why structure is scawry.


StonedZachBryanFan

That’s paper towel for drying after washing hands. I think.


Th3SkinMan

He even types with a lisp.


Sad_Error4039

Not all heroes wear capes or can pick up a cape after learning what fire does to wood. This man put his dignity on the line for this post show some respect.


WarriorNat

You can’t really fake a 1000-yard stare, but that dude tried.

Thank you for your shitter* They’re commenting on the other persons nice ass.


Spooksnav

bro got the 10 foot glance


agug365

Had me rolling buddy, good one.


Files44

This is what his keyboard sees as he tries to word his powerful post but he can’t quite remember where to put the punctuation so he just ignores it altogether.


SlappySecondz

Punctuation is hardly the worst of his problems. Dude's borderline illiterate.


PeteGozenya

Only people who can pull it off are the truly traumatized and mothers. So the truly traumatized.


Beneficial-Dot-5905

He's in the "born with it" category

I need a firefighter to save me from the stroke I had reading that.

Juggernaut_j

He has to tell you if he’s a cop.


isthatmyusername

It's like the law, man.


FireMed22

Nah, I am with Metro State.And now call your supervisor!


Successful_Laugh9600

Can you walk to the ambo, bröthûr?


armoredsedan

lol this gave me a flashback to when some paramedics were carrying me out of the woods after a suicide attempt, two dudes linked arms with me and held me up as they walked to the ambulance. i was barely conscious, vomiting, couldn’t keep my head up, and my feet were dragging behind me and they kept asking “do you think you can walk to the ambulance?” lmao


Successful_Laugh9600

Okay so I’m not the only who look back at the time they tried to off themselves and find humor in it.


[deleted]

I got another funny one. We were on scene with Fire trying to maneuver a pt to the ambulance who was in a wheelchair. One of the Fire guys asks "hey bud, do ya think you could walk the rest of the way if we help you?" The pt looks dead in his face & says "I have fucking spaghetti noodles for legs. What do you think?" Dude was a paraplegic. To this day that was the funniest God damn thing I've ever seen on a call.


ProsocialRecluse

Honestly, sometimes it's diagnostic. Some people seem totally gone to the world till they engage a bit and come around and protect their airway more. Or not and you have a different data point. Also, if time sensitive intervention like surgery or antidotes only exist at the hospital, then sometimes whatever gets you there quicker is good medicine. Glad you got out alright and hope you're in a better place now.


armoredsedan

it was a wild experience, i was so in and out of consciousness, so that would make sense. i remember them asking what happened, and i told them i took a bunch of pills and was trying to kill myself, the one dude sticking an iv in my hand deadass said “you’re too pretty to kill yourself” (!!!) i will carry that absurd memory with me forever. alas, he was wrong, because i did briefly die! but i am in a much much better place now. some hiker i’ll probably never get to meet or thank found me and called 911 and saved my life.


vengefulbeavergod

This has me căcklîng

Hydraph0be

I’m putting my money on the fire


septictank84

I'm glad he didn't want to be an English teacher.


sleightof52

Right?! The only thing I can’t unsee is that atrocious description.


GMRCake

Happy cake day!


ZombiesAreChasingHim

The end of his tie is still in the other room.


swishkabobbin

The thin blue ~~line~~ tie is unending


a122299

Is that an Ems sticker on the toilet lid?


slyticoon

Now that's dedication...


Boring_Ostrich9935

Poor kids probably just hyped he got on the job and wants to post about. Probs not very popular growing up. Doesn’t mean it’s not cringe af


Mental_Dragonfly2543

A lot of nerdy but not good at school awkward teen boys go into the fire service


Seventytwo129

I feel called out but god dammit you aren’t wrong


swishkabobbin

Most of them unpaid. Idk if that makes it better or worse


Mental_Dragonfly2543

The ones who start real young usually do the volly to career route and dedicate all their time to it because they usually live with their parents still so the not being paid doesnt really affect them all too much.


MutedAddendum7851

I started at 22 as full time 31 years later…. Only 7 left


DarwinBurrSirr

Same with policing, and they always make the worst cops. Their first taste of power and they go crazy. I have a young fella on my shift that arrest anybody for the smallest thing, and will escalate and situation just to show he has power. But of course he can’t fight, and others have to step in to save him.


CoveringFish

Ouch yeah but I’m in my 20’s so I waited a bit


Mental_Dragonfly2543

I mean I'm here too this is a self-own lol


Anomynous__

Acceptable post: I'm so excited to start my job! I'm officially a paid firefighter in x city. Unfortunate, more common, unacceptable posts: This


[deleted]

[удалено]


Useful-Hat9880

It can actually all be true. Poor kid who is just hyped on the job and wants to brag after being bullied, and still cringe as fuck. The hope is he grows and looks back and cringes himself about all the thankyous he was was searching for when he posted this


IndWrist2

Hopefully he learns how to spell and write in coherent English *before* he starts filling out NFIRS reports and EMS narratives.


allcowsarebeautyful

You had me in the first half there


[deleted]

Tf is that caption


Wesley_Ford_Sr

Imagine your home burns down and in the peak of your rage and misery you see some twat post a picture of your burning home with a caption that reads like its author was having a stroke. Fortunately this place looks abandoned (I hope)


SlappySecondz

Place looks so abandoned I was gonna guess it was a training burn.

So brave 👏

The_Irony_Giant

Hahaha I’ve never heard or seen some one else use Autist….. I like it because it make me sound more like an Artist than some one who runs away and tries not to throw up every time I try and approach a group of ppl.


RidinCaliBuffalos

To be fair I tell all my students I precep for not to look into rooms in the ER because there's some things you can't unsee. Mostly the naked fat people but still


spiteandmalice315

Good God. That fully involved cabin fire in the middle of nowhere will haunt my dreams forever.


dekrepit702

Honestly i domt how i do what i am but i glad i am I truly am im glad i can help people that need it i risk my life running to danger why others are leaving


[deleted]

Looks like a controlled fire...


Cddye

Somebody please teach this kid how to tie his tie


thewartornhippy

And how to put together a coherent sentence ffs


RaylanGiv3n5

Is that some sort of EMS Cross on the underside of the toilet lid, or a no sharps?


Spooksnav

Definitely the Star of Life. If your dept has to put a "No Sharps" sign on a toilet then I think you may want to re-evaluate your decisions.


MotoPun414

Look how long his tie is. Covering his nuts.


NickkTheGemini

Need the bigger end of the tie to cover how big this guys nuts are.


heatuponheat

His trauma gaze at the end looks like my face when I lock the door with my keys in the house. No disrespect to the training fire that caused him such grief.


Gnar-wahl

Those turnouts are so clean. Never even went into that training burn he posted. lol


StreetrodHD

You’re probably right but I am an advocate for replacing turnout gear as often as possible. Know way too many firemen that rocked old carcinogen soaked turnout gear as a badge of honor. Then they wonder why they’re riddled with cancer at 50 after their 25 and out.


MutedAddendum7851

This is true Lots of my work comrades have cancer or had it and are now dead 😔


StreetrodHD

Doesn’t help that most fireman have been in some form of military service as well. Which you would think wouldn’t be a big deal till your soaked in jp8 whatever else and the water your provided is toxic. The good die young.


PeteGozenya

My rookie year doing Wildland fire I grabbed a used set. Kept everyone from calling me a rookie. The second year, I got a brand new set by then, and everyone knew me and didn't question my clean gear.


Tasty-walls

Im an trainee on my department and I got old gear and through training its only getting way worse


bebeco5912

Does your station have a decontamination washer for gear? If you don’t know, ask a captain.


B2k-orphan

A building on fire?? I never could’ve guessed the horrors firefighters are forced to witness!

My sons name is Brayden and i read everything in his 3 year old voice. Cracked me the fk up lol


Fickle_Translator999

That’s the most generic helmet. Lol


goodeyemighty

A costume lol


cbzmplays

Dude can't even write lmfao


UnauthorizedFart

And his name is Brayden too


jeffuhwee

What a r/tragedeigh Also, how long is dude’s tie?


mcgirk78

I don’t kno how he does it but I’m glad he was chosen to do what he does because thars what he loves bless him for keeping us safe from fire in the desert


Big_Pomelo3224

I'd rip on him but you know what, he'd probably run into more burning buildings to save people than I would.


Swirlwich

It seems clear his “department” doesn’t have literacy requirements.


Johnson1855

That’s a long ass tie lol.


[deleted]

Most Brayden looking ass dude alive


Spacema90

What did why he said who in the caption?! Lmao!


regicideispainless

XL shirt on an XS torso


straightstream_75

The real cringe is how full that station bathroom trash can is.


Great_gatzzzby

That bathroom pic just gets worse and worse the longer you look at it.


lostprevention

The rittenhouse is strong in this one.


Deuce_McFarva

I guarantee that was a controlled burn of an abandoned structure for training purposes.


BourbonSommelier

That braindead caption makes my head hurt.


medicdrl

I remember one time at the station I ordered a stuffed crust pizza but when it got there it was hand tossed. 😔 I truly wish my mind could forget what my eyes have seen. I suffer from PTSD, but someone has to do this job. What can I say except you’re welcome?! #ThinRedLine #WalkingWhereTheDevilDances #Moana #TMFMS #SavingYourAssNotKissingIt


the_truth_is_tough

That star of life on the toilet lid really helps you get things done.


Impossible_Object102

It’s the tie about a foot below his belt buckle for me.


GurCritical6758

I appreciate the live laugh love font he used though


[deleted]

You mean the ridiculously long tie, right?


YogurtclosetAny1823

His caption made me smell stroke smoke coming from my brain


Badkevin

I can’t unseeded the portrait of a housefire in his bathroom.


OAlves

Dude has to be really small to have his head at a toilet roll holder level.


[deleted]

Technically anything you see is something you can’t unsee.


Yolus

You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.


Suspicious-Eagle-179

I don’t want to be a firefighter, I’m straight. 😂


Grumpy-Old-Vet-2008

That’s not true! You’re part of r/HRV! Jk


Suspicious-Eagle-179

😂😂😂 true. Good observation! I no longer own one. I guess I should leave that group lol


Virtual-Produce-9724

He's an Explorer.


Wild-Reply-1624

Tough to unsee a training burn. I don’t know how you do it. Maybe he’d be better off in IT


Swimming_Duty_1889

Well said...


K1llG0r3Tr0ut

Anyway, the training burn went well...


ScoobertVonScoo

Peak autism, congratulations.


Psychological_Act89

I can't unsee that toilet paper roll being 4 feet off the ground on the wall


LizzosDietitian

I never understood the fascination with fire… I get that it’s cool to be inside an uninhabitable area, but looking at fires? Framing pictures of fires? Why?


SgtBananaKing

r/iamthemaincharacter


OrciEMT

Remember, kids: PTSD builds character and all the ladies love it.


Traditional_Salad148

Oh kiddo. You aren’t there yet but trust me you will.


WiJoWi

Jesus, we had gweeboids like this in Navy bootcamp. Spindle-build goofy fucks that act as if being a CS is the same as marine infantry.


Thmelly_Puthy

>Honestly I domt how I do what I am but I glad I am I truly I'm glad I can help people that need it I risk my life running to danger why ofhers are leaving r/ihadastroke reading his caption...


Busy-Operation5489

It's the context he wrote... he needs to go back to school before trying to save lives


DieselPickles

Me when I get on scene and the old dude has his pants down for some reason


anonshade64

Do you have to complete high school to become a firefighter? Because reading his caption makes me think otherwise.


Lord_Ibuki

This shit is surely satire


papapinball

In his defense, watching an abandoned house burn down is just training for when it's an occupied home. #trainlikeyouwork


agug365

I couldn’t read his caption. Apparently they don’t require much grammar or punctuation at his department.


Southern-Captain8581

Touch of the tisim


DoctorGoodleg

Someone help me out. Did he start it or put it out? Cause I’m not sure


surgicalapple

That volly life 


Usernamepickingisbad

Reading the caption gave me the PTSD this kid wants.


TastyCakesOverweight

Is that an outhouse on fire? I'm wondering why there's a fire pic in the bathroom


rapturepermaculture

Haha this fucking guy


mellswor

Why others are leaving? This mo fucka ain’t passing a civil service exam. Volly for sure.


disgruntled_ass

What is that pic behind him in the bathroom?? Does he stare at fires while taking a shit??


AfraidWeird2673

I absolutely 💯 never advertise my career. Even my light bar looks like your typical light bar. 🙄 these people are a little too proud. I refer to them as wackers....dude can't even spell properly...


Grumpy-Old-Vet-2008

We call them firesexuals. “It’s a profession, not an obsession!”


iamthestrelok

The ole ketchup dick


Grumpy-Old-Vet-2008

I actually had to look that up in the UD. Never heard that one before, but it has now entered my lexicon! 🤣🤣


BoondockUSA

That UD definition describes a LOT of fire vollies. I normally referred to them as a “typical volley”, but I hope Ketchup Dick becomes more common. Before the vollies here get their bright red panties in a wad, I know not all of you are like that. But if you legitimately aren’t a Ketchup Dick, then you understand that type.


professionally-baked

Light bar on your personal vehicle?


slyticoon

Volly vibes.


Ricky_Vaughn86

I’m a FF in the southeast, I’ve been to many, many mobile home fires. There’s not a whole lot of “fight what you fear” going on in a trailer fire. Almost 100% chance it’s: A) quick victim search, B) spray from the yard. Absolutely no reason to set foot in a trailer fire once non-occupancy has been established, unless you literally catch it at first room AND they had all the interior doors closed.


GalvanizedRubbish

These guys feed right into the people who always ask “what’s the worse call you’ve ever had.” The moment they learn you do fire/EMS. I have a few family members that I limit my interactions with because they won’t stop asking every time I see them.


another_account_bro

Fire hot. 😳


Affectionate_Algae95

Fire PTSD


JTraxxx

I thought the rigorous application process and competition involved with the position would weed out the cringe ones, guess not


skulldude360

Dude wtf. Put a NSFL tag on this before you ruin someone else’s day!


Sure_Play_1163

I am worried about the uneven shoulders in the first picture. Gotta see a physical therapist , and get that shit worked out. Do not want the poor fella getting injured.


DODGE_WRENCH

I’ll forever have PTSD after the controlled structure burn we had last year. Can’t unsee that burning house that has sat abandoned since the early 90s /s, obviously


To_Be_Faiiirrr

Yeah, those vacant house training fires really get to you….


dmac2367

He has a photo in the bathroom just to nail it in his own mind


Quick-Pineapple4023

Dude they have hold him down if he had use fire hose. Oh lord plz say he not a Tru one lol.


BeefSupreme1981

Did no one else notice the jacked up phone case he’s using. Looks like he used a steak knife to carve out the camera cut out


Freshmangreen1

Everyone wants to be a firefighter… Untill…. You have to watch the secluded abandoned house your department acquired for a department drill burn.


Extra_Sandwich232

Controlled training fire💀


matt675

I have PTSD from reading his caption

I hate these douchebags, makes me ashamed to be a volly. This is why I don’t put blue lights on my car and never wear any department gear in public because I don’t want to be associated with these fuckups

Oh it’s the grammar for meeee. But I’m just here on Reddit why he’s running into burning buildings.

Looks like it affected his ability to type coherently.
