Ms. T,

Kindly allow me to share that for the vast majority of the men and women of the LAFD, the 106 Neighborhood Fire Stations (staffed by 318 different crews) are a challenging, rewarding - and yes - at times delightful place to devote our lives in the service of others.

Please let us know when your travels bring you to Los Angeles, and we’ll be happy to arrange a day (or day and night) at the Fire Station of your choosing to affirm or dispel your belief. Lunch and dinner are on us, an open mindset is all we ask. :)

Respectfully Yours in Safety and Service,

Brian Humphrey
Firefighter/Specialist
Public Service Officer
Los Angeles Fire Department

This is true everywhere. There are people who know how use jokes in a lighthearted fashion and those who cross the line. This is true everywhere.

Though my friend is a volunteer firefighter, and doesn't live in a firehouse, and they have the same sort of pranking culture (sometimes pretty severe pranks too).

I have a lot more respect for them than police officers, but that whole sleeping together for days on end in the firehouse seems to work a number on them. The whole "group mentality" thing is probably a little hard to resist at times. Firefighters are interesting.
