Mando Culture - Entertaining the Overworked - John Hernandez SD Fire Brigade
🎙John Hernandez @sdfirebrigade
home of the infamous #MandoVan
A hilarious IG page on a mission to:
- Entertain the Fire Front with Humor & More
- Provide a Sanctuary for the Overworked
Prep and Defend Show No.38 is a fun discussion around the "Mando Culture".
"Mandos" are days in which firefighters are forced to work extra 24 hour shifts.
These extra shifts are involuntary and are caused by a lack of staffing on many fire department agencies.
The issue of overworked firefighters is a difficult issue facing Fire Departments and their personnel nationwide.
Thankfully there are guys like John Hernandez that are able to provide humor and positivity around this "Mando Culture".
