Is someone here a firefighter? How do you like and dislike the job?

Do i have to be an emt as well or is that separate?

How busy am I going to be? Do you work 12 or more hours a day so i have enough free time?

Is it true firefighters make up to 71k their third year?

What made you decide this

Women love the fire brigade

And you get to slide down that pole

Ain’t that voluntary?

Cheezy, allergic to winter time (hot!)

Read this book

Fire blanket

dont get burned

you get to have a cool mustache

All Firehouses got a Dalmatian or that's just fairy tales?

cuz i was gonna join the air force to be a fire fighter but they won’t accept me cuz of my tattoos on my hands. it’s pretty strict. and it seems like a fun job n you get payed pretty nicely.

my mustache just now gettin long so if i can keep it i’m happy!

Be a wildland firefighter and enjoy the beauty of nature before it's gone tbh

It’s more of an EMT job, fighting fires is scary (obv) but it’s a bit of a novelty since most of the time you’re dealing with things like car accidents, sick old people, etc. Could you handle a gruesome scene after an accident? Watching the family cry? Could you handle carrying an old man who’s covered in his own s***?

Their shifts go 24hrs on 24hrs off x3, then a 4 day break. You make good money $50-80k (even more if you’re a captain or chief). Also the department you choose to work for makes a big difference

sounds good to me. i just want enough free time to make my girl happy and to have some type of life outside of work.

What state are you in?

Can you live in a 1-2k rented home while on a fireman salary?

wgat was training like? do you have the option to train part time if you already have a job or is this a dormitory place to train

I’ve heard it’s an extremely draining job. And you’re prone to seeing really f***ed up s*** sometimes. How do you deal?
