Do you need to have a drivers license in order to be a firefighter?

Asked by Brad Houpt over 8 years ago

Generally yes, unless you do not plan on driving any apparatus. But generally yes.

There's alot of questions on here for you, don't know if you answered this one but here I go. What's your schedule like (time on, time off)? How do vacations work and does 24 hours on mean your up for that whole time? Are weekends busier?

Asked by Curious fireman questions almost 9 years ago

24 hrs on and 48 hrs off. Come in at 0745 and leave at 0800. I get 12 shifts off a year, which is basically 6 weeks of vacation(I have been with my dept for 25 yrs) If I take one day off it gives me 5 days off. There is no rhyme or reason for when busy days are. I have busy Sundays and slow Fridays. You take them as they come. We are not up for 24 hrs generall after 5 pm it is generally our down time but that is usually earlier. We do training from 1300-1500 every thing else is either cleaning or other chores that you would find in your house since it is mine every 3 days.

I am working on a creative writing project...would you be open to correspondence through email? If not, totally understandable. TY

How long does it take to put out a house fire? And what was the longest time it's ever taken for you to put out a fire?

Asked by emma almost 10 years ago

It depends on response time. Was dispatched lastnight to arson fire and the firstarriving unit had the fire knocked down in 5 min. So it all revolves withresponse time and how fast water gets to the fire. My longest fire has been 3 hrs.
