In the firehouse birthdays aren’t marked with parties or piles of presents. Most of the time you’re lucky if someone grabs you a card... or maybe a balloon from the grocery store. (Hold back your excitement folks!) The real tradition? Pranks and hazing. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes questionable, always memorable.

In this episode, Jimmy's sharing some of the funniest stories from his time in the firehouse. From collapsing beds and Kool-Aid-soaked socks, to uniforms frozen rock-solid... these pranks range from clever to absolutely ridiculous. There were even some unexpected lessons along the way, like how humor can keep a team bonded through long shifts, and how going too far can test the limits of respect and trust.

Because in the firehouse, the hazing wasn’t just about fun, it was also about learning how to live, work, and co-exist together under one roof.

This episode is a glimpse at the lighter side of station life. Where brotherhood is built on long shifts, shared laughter, and the occasional prank gone sideways. Because at the end of the day, it’s not the cake you remember, it’s the chaos.
