Pager Palsy is when a rookie firefighter turns into a blithering idiot the second the pager goes off. They forget how to breathe, let alone put out a fire.
I saw a new guy trip over his own boots and yell 'I can't feel my face!' while trying to zip his coat.
A firefighter dropped his helmet on the ground and started crying because he forgot how to tie his shoe.
He ran outside, forgot his name, and asked the chief if he was the one who called the fire.
