Wooo Tulips!!!!
So this guy on my fire station just got fired from his full time job and I was thinking about sending them my resume. It would be a step up for sure but I am posotive he would know if I worked there. Is that a horrable thing to do? (not sure what happened but I know he did something to get fired)

Do you like the guy?

If you like the guy, ask him. Just say you were looking at applying for the job and wanted to make sure he was cool with it. He might have some insight into why you may or may not want to work there.

If you don't like the guy, then just apply for it. He got fired, it's not like you swooped in and stole the job out from underneath him.

Just my $0.02

Look out for #1 !

It may make some ill will between you and he, but a real buddy will see it for what it is: an opportunity for you to further yourself in many ways.

You should apply.

How do you get fired from being a fire fighter? It seems like you would have to just have horrible discipline to make that happen.
we just had a guy who was screwing a 16 year old in the firestation and took digital pictures of it, he just lost his job...

Unless he was fired for a reason which is unethical, like he spent too much time at the fire department, go ahead.
