What would be a good degree to get to become a firefighter/paramedic?

Asked by Ty over 8 years ago

yes, get your paramedic since a large amount of depts require this.

If I am an RN right now, and want to become a firefighter would I still have to become a certified emt before I do that, or is a bachelors degree in nursing work instead of that?

Asked by ZZZZZZ almost 9 years ago

No, obviously you are referring to be a volunteer. If you are anticipating working on a medic unit then the state would require you to obtain one.

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 almost 9 years ago

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

Can a final exit door be left open even if it leads onto your neighbour's property? The door opens inward, but he's claiming his property is private and the door needs to be closed.

Depends on your ordinances, but why would you leave a final open, or do you mean locked
