I’ll just say this: he kicked a gate thinking nobody was home and ended up getting scolded and fined

    I have a technical job that sometimes deals with emergency response. I showed up to a building and needed to get in the mechanical room and the building manager couldn’t find the keys so I was trying to pick the lock but a firefighter pushed me out of the way and kicked the metal door with the metal frame as hard as he could. The door remained unaffected but the firefighter definitely injured himself and limped away trying to play it off and then his buddy started axing through the wall and said I hit something and I looked and said “that’s the 480 volt disconnect”. I successfully picked the door and handled to issue without further drama. Pro tip. Firefighters are great at handling fires but they’re not good at handling situations that deal with electronics or anything technical in fact they make the situation much much more dangerous
