You're so right there, my firing stance was on the seat, feet up on the front door and leaning on the armrest waving to the pretty girls. Nothing beats firing on Diesels
After a few months on the job the Head Instructor asked me would I like to sit my boiler ticket, he handed me a inch-thick book on the Firemans Course. I just laughed, told him I gave up shovelling on Dad's farm for a seat, no point turning back now.
