how much do you get paid. can a girl be a firefighter

Asked by madison woolley over 8 years ago

when I first started in 1989 it was 14,261 a year and now mid 60's. Up in the East Coast and West coast it is considerably higher due to the cost of living. We currently have 2 female fighters and one of them had a baby last year and back at woork.

Asked by ZZZZZZ over 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.

Are fire extinguishers still or have they ever been kept in glass boxes with little hammers? That seems dangerous with all the broken glass.

Asked by Beth almost 9 years ago

They used to be at one point and may still be in some older buildings. The basic concept was it allowed you to see that there was indeed a fire extinguisher in the locker. No they are usually kept in a metal box mounted on the wall with a metal door.
