I'm guessing you'd need hobbies that are neat, portable, and won't be damaged if you have to stop working on it suddenly. Knitting is something that can be put down in a heartbeat, fits all those other criteria, and can occupy your time nicely. You also end up with nice stuff once you're done. You'll take a little ribbing, I'm sure, from your colleagues when you first start. Bear through that, and you'll have a useful hobby. You can make all sorts of things with knitting, from the obvious hats and sweaters and slippers to the unusual hammock for the back yard. Yep. You can really knit a hammock once you've had a little practice. If you want details on that, email me. There's an email link available if you click on the name under my avatar.
I don't know if model-building is practical in your situation. There might be too many little pieces, and the glue stinks. Do any of the others at your station enjoy jigsaw puzzles? That might be a nice change occasionally.

I have been able to tie knots when at work, some just for training, some for decorative work that I even could sell.
Can you tell a little more about the kind of work, the time you have and the limits in time and freedom to do anything other than the job itself?
Added, some sites about knots, as that is my main hobby:

I have about 60 links more, but these give a nice idea of how wide the possibilities are.

I thought you worked with doctors who removed ear wax all night long? Now you are a fireman?

Traditional hobbies for firemen and seafarers include knitting, crochet and macramé. Excess production can be channeled to charities or emergency relief. Imagine wrapping a rescued child in a plain (or bright) wrap knit or crocheted by a local Fireman.
Cooking is a traditional firehouse hobby.
And let's include posting questions and answers at YAHOO!answers ... oh, you already have that one, right? :-)
