you respond to a 1 story home fully involved. The chief orders you to put water on fire Bldg from the adjacent 4 story exposure building. You have enough hose to cover the 4th floor. Where do you attack from? 4th floor window or 2nd floor window?

Asked by Jj Watt over 7 years ago

I would anticipate attacking from the 2nd floor especially since it is only 1 story.

Is it hard to becomes a firefighter paramedic?

Asked by .... over 7 years ago

Learning to be a firefighter is a continuous career that involves training all the time. Paramedic is more intensive in that it usually takes 2 yrs to complete and now is considered a Associates Degree. It is harder to become a paramedic between the 2 in brain knowledge but physically firefighting is more labor intensive.
