We went to another fire department today. This time it was a little bit farther south of where we live. These guys were even better to talk to than the first guys. And they proved again that no matter where you are in the world, firefighters are firefighters. The officers complain because the firefighters are lazy, they sleep where and when they aren't supposed to, and when we walked into their day room, they were playing Playstation 3 on a big screen TV. They even walk around the station with their boots unzipped, just like we do. The guy kneeling second from the left was the 1st LT. and spoke English as well as anyone I have heard over here. He and the guy that is third from the left standing (2nd LT.) showed us around.
Found an ambulance station near our building as well and stopped in. They weren't really that friendly, but we got some interesting pictures. They have similar equipment as us, but not as clean or as much of it. Also, their drugs are much more limited than ours. They have the basics, but not as many of the more specialized drugs like we do. Interesting though.
