Firefighters and electricity don’t mix well. #firefighter #lineworker #arc

I once heard a saying, electricians don't mess with fires, fire fighters don't mess with wires

[founditnow]

"You couldn't pay me enough to mess with electricity..." RUNS INTO BURNING BUILDING ON 34th FLOOR

So many jobs that so many of us take for granted and never think about.
Linemen, Snow removal, truckers. The list goes on and on.

I love how it doesn't matter what your line of work is, everyone has someone to look up to

[longbow]

'if you smell pork, you're on fire' -a wise man

[blueflame]

"Am i dead? Nah im good." Back to work.

[remittingaxe]

Learned this from a guy from the power company 35 years ago in recruit school..."we don't mess with your fires...don't mess with our wires". Best advice ever.

“Linesmen exist so there’s someone even fire fighters can look up to.”

I'm sending this to my brother, who is an electrical lineman and volunteer firefighter.

I was wildly unaware of the risks of my job beside buzz buzz bad no touchy boom wire before I started. Mad respect for the linesmen that do the actual high voltage works.

[Kyle-gbdq]

It takes a special breed to do that job. They have my full respect.
Edit: 21k likes??!! Thank you, never had that many before!

We had an electrician work on one of our light switches--- he got a "zap" --- gave a started "ouch"... shook it off and said... "I LIKE IT!!!" Guy just wasn't LOL

[Garmoo]

Thank you linesmen! Every time the power goes out in my area Ill pray for them.

[Okay-bdix]

My grandpa was a freakin mad lad. He was in the Marines, was an linesman (the people that go in the cherrypickers like this guy), and responded to the aftermaths of tornadoes and natural disasters. He will be missed.

[rayanderson]

The number of times I've told a coworker "Hey, you're on fire."
And they went, "Huh..." *pat pat*

[sinvaas]

Electricity is like fires ghetto cousin, highly unpredictable but don't know what you'd do without it

[wolfenhiem]

I knew a Lineman, great guy, absolute blast to be around, but there's a reason his nickname was "Crazy Bob"

[kodysoles]

I like when I get to work beside linemen. Bro said, “either this works or I die” with a serious fkn face 😂

[Axolotl-N-tl]

I love being an electrician 9 years and still loving it

Nope, nope, nope, props to whoever made such protective suits, but nope!
