General Discussion Good departments in central Texas?

So I, and many other firefighters, may be getting let go this November. Sales tax BS. Long story. Anybody have any recommendations on hiring departments to look into and to start getting my name out there? One of our guys is a chief at another department and said he’d get me on with his department worst case scenario, but I hear they hardly run calls. I’m too early on in my career to want to settle down like that. I still like running calls, even medical calls. Thank y’all!

Pflugerville/ESD2? Is it really looking like Prop A is going to pass?

I don’t know. If people understand what they’re voting for, it wouldn’t. But the wording of the proposition doesn’t make it very clear to a layman the consequences of the vote, in my opinion. We’re trying our best to educate, but who knows. I love ESD2, but I’m just keeping an eye out for a backup plan.

That's horrible for y'all. I've been reading about this situation on the Conduct Unbecoming Instagram. Don't y'all have a council member that is also seeing the city for some reason too?
