Do you have to be a volunteer firefighter or can you be a firefighter full time?

Asked by Michael over 9 years ago

No you can be both. There are approx 1.5 million career firefighters with the remainder being volunteer. Jobs in the south tend to be easier to obtain for some reason , of course you need to make yourself marketable by obtaining a degree, get certified as an EMT.

Besides fighting fires, what other jobs do firefighters carry out?

Asked by Ryan about 9 years ago

Public education. Emergency Medical Services. fire prevention to name a few. We do not fight as many fires that we use to.
