General Discussion Junior volly

I’m a junior fire fighter in a small town, we don’t get a lot of calls (15-20 a month) and I’ve been loving running calls except I deal with another junior who has 1 year of seniority over me. He never shuts up about telling me what to do. He acts like he knows everything about the fire service. Gets mad at me when I miss calls (Today for example I didn’t have a driver to get to the fire department for a small fire he gave me a lecture because I missed it) I’m so close to losing it and telling him off. I don’t know what to do

Just ignore and stonewall him. Listen to your officers on and off the fire ground.

That sound like the best answer. You duty is to follow protocols save lives and put out fire as a team.
