Compared to an ambulance, how sophisticated are the medical supplies that are usually carried on a fire truck? Do they usually carry AEDs?

Asked by 1738 almost 9 years ago

My Engine carries the exact same as the medic unit so the sophistication would be the same. And the majority of ALS departments operate the same.

I'm writing a book where the character's house burns down, and she doesn't think it's an accident. How can you tell a fire is arson?

Asked by Madison over 9 years ago

Personal items removed from house prior to fire, excessive debt, behind on house payments are your first clue. As for the home numerous ignition point. No power to the house. Vacant homes are good starting points.

Asked by christopher about 8 years ago

Well for #1 there is a fire which scares most people, #2 most fires take place at night and strangers are in the house wearing a masks and usually yelling to find people that may be trapped. Our voice are muffled which scares many young kids. This is one reason for fire prevention and getting young children used to us in our gear.

For will you consider a younge person like 10 to 12 as a firefighter brotherhood of the dedicate their time to learn everything they can and will soon join?

Asked by Trevor sticker about 8 years ago

You question is confusing. But let me see if I can dicepher it. So you are thinking of dedicating you time to learn about firefighting before you are of age by I am assuming hanging out at the fire dept. If this is correct and you became good friends and were there to help them with the little things until you became of age you could be considered in the brotherhood. The thing about the brotherhood is kinda a thing of the past with a lot of large depts in that it is considered more of a job these days. I thought my dept was a brotherhood but there a groups that do things and don't invite others etc. I personally have friends within my dept but at the same time they are fellow employees and those that have family involves a lot of time for a family to operate as it should be with kids and the such. But yes I would consider you a member of the the fire family. I hope that is what you were inquiring of.

With theft on my record when i was 18, it was misdemeanor. i am now 19 and going to school for fire science. i can get my record expunged. can i still get hired? that was my first offense. besides 2 speeding tickets.

Asked by mooredm over 8 years ago

Misdemeanors are not disqualifying just be honest when you apply. Yes if you can get it expunged that is always good. But fear not just be honest and upfront.

If a molotov cocktail is thrown in a very old wood dry building consisting of flammable furniture and other types of fuel, with good oxygen supply, how could the fire self extinguish in a short period of time?

Asked by Brylar Foustark about 8 years ago

I would find it improbable that it would self extinguish. If it had limited oxygen than that would be feasible.
