I work in a small office that is attached to a garage by an interior door. The garage is used to repair heavy equipment (Loaders, Back Hoe, Dozers) as well as gravel trucks. Should I have a C O sensor in the office?

What is the best way to become a firefighter? For example get a degree and apply, or is it possible to apply without a degree and slowly work your way up?

Asked by Hemlin almost 10 years ago

Several ways. First dependant on where you live you can join a volunteer fire department. You do not neccessarilly have to have a college degree before you start or even upon completion of your career. I do recommend getting you EMT in that the majority of Fire Dept. responses are for EMS calls.

I am buying a home that had an attic fire 20 years ago. What can I do to reduce the smoke smell in the attic? Also, what can I do to reduce possible carcinogens in that space (we have no need of going up there otherwise as it is not a storage area).

Asked by Mary Ann about 9 years ago

There are companies that specialise in smoke odor removal after a fire, you may need to have all the insulation removed if it hasn't before.

Do become a firefighter do you have to past the aerial ladder test? What if they you don't? Could a person still be a firefighter even though there afraid of heights? Do you have any advice.

Asked by Alex over 9 years ago

Generally if a dept does not have an aerial they dont do that but you still need to climb extension ladders. So you have two options work on your fear since extension ladders come with the job or change choices, but you usually cant have it both ways. Sorry being honest.
