I completed my fist project today. A 12 foot raised flower bed. This is a gift for my wife’s college graduation. I have done very minor woodworking in the past and this is what I am considering my first true project. Not the most perfect thing ever but it’ll get the job done. Plus I definitely learned some lessons in the process.
For reference, our department is a very small career station . We run 3 shifts on 48/96 with 3 people per shift. Around 1500 calls a year. Our current shift change time is 0700. Most guys will get to the station around 0630.
We are currently looking at going into a trial period of shift change time being 0900. The thought process was brought back from one of the guys who went to FDIC. The main reasoning is to improve firefighter rest and recovery.
I have mixed feelings on this as I am an early bird. Does anyone have experience with making this change and what are your thoughts?
