YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF:

# Your last serious fire was your fire department BBQ

#You voted against the last person for chief because he was a Gordon fan

#Your rescue truck can smoke the tires

# Dispatch can't mention your name without laughing

# The local news crew won't put your department on T.V. because you embarrassed them last time.
# That firebreak you spent all night constructing, is in the wrong place.

Your department has ever had two emergency vehicles pulled over for drag racing on the way to the scene.

You've ever let a person's house burn down because they wouldn't let you hunt on their property.

Your department's name is misspelled on the equipment. This is true

All BS aside. When I moved from NY to Alabama, one of the 1st calls I ran was to hose down a bunch of cattle because a crop duster sprayed the wrong feld.

You have your department name written in duct tape on the door of your trucks
You have every had a deer skull zip tied to the brush guard of your brush truck for a morale boost
Ever been on a out house fire...
The exhaust on the truck is louder than the siren...
Pulled up to a house fire and had to rescue a pig
the scary thing is they are all true.....

Had to stop once and put out the engine on the way to the structure fire. Surely that fits here.

You respond to a medical call and information from dispatch includes the statement, "RP says the goat in the living room is friendly." (Waaaaay true)

Well, doesn't have much to do with firefighting, other than where I got the stuff......

So, now that my Christmas shopping is all done and ready to be wrapped, I had an issue.... no wrapping paper in the apartment, or at the station.

Proud of my redneck roots I brought home three rolls of snot lyme green duct tape from the ladder ( with permission).

I have since wrapped four large boxes in it.

NOW the girlfriend brings up an issue. This is the first Christmas I'll be spending with her family.... and all the presents from me are wrapped in duct tape. The family is quite well off. Needless to say, Mom and Dad have their questions about the daughter dating a redneck firefighter

Should I rewrap all the presents?

Ya, with silver duct tape.

I have a relative in the military. Every year on Christmas Eve (tonight) we have to drive way the hell out in the sticks to my brother in laws house for the family thing. The military kid is known for coming in late, stopping at a gas station and buying his presents, and wrapping everything in newspaper and electrical tape.

You own a fire helmet in the shape of a cowboy hat. Yes, I have seen it. I have also seen someone respond in cowboy boots.

I have used in a bind paper towels, tissue paper, brown paper bags, plastic Walmart bags, and for the real quickie in a pinch turned silver side out and washed chip bags with xmas trees and snow flakes drawn on with a permeate marker... and when all else failed... fabric and yarn....now that is really sad.... LMAO

the Illinois State Fire Marshal's personnel have government-issue cowboy-hat hardhats with their logo imprinted on them, no lie. You're a redneck if you use a hazardous-waste drum as a barbecue pit without rinsing it out first. Seen it done. No wonder they all have six fingers.

You know your a redneck if your prom limo driver drops you off at the end of the dirt road so you can go to the after party.....he would have gotten stuck. You know your a redneck when there is still a hitch post in front of your station. You know your a redneck when you drive the four wheeler to the station to pick up a truck, or your kid from school.You know your a redneck when you think getting in the creek water is taking a bath.

Or...you know you're a redneck if you respond to a difficulty breathing call and the ceiling high pile of whatever on the couch moves, and it's a full size (several hundred pound) PIG! Gee, when we took her outside she could breathe better! I was ROTFLOL!

you know you're in a redneck TOWN when you pull up to the local (and only) carwash and see 2 cows and 4 horses being washed. funny enough, they looked like they were enjoying it... btw, the truck and trailer that was hauling them was muddy and covered in horse and cow fecal matter. and they didn't wash the truck or trailer. just the livestock! :D gotta love small hick towns!
