Is Forestry a good major for a firefighter ?

Asked by Jay almost 8 years ago

Are you planning on going into forestry firefighting?

Do you think majoring in enviromental science would help getting a firefighter job?

Asked by Jalen almost 8 years ago

In my honest opinion, No. one of our officers has a BA in Geology for instance and it does nothing for him. If you are going to go to college and be in the fire service get a degree that correlates to the job.

I am wondering, how and when do you know when to vent a burning building? I see on you tube, Windows breaking, most popular vent, how do you know where and when to vent a building?

Asked by Christine almost 8 years ago

Once water supply is adequate and suppression teams are in place ventilation is usually started. Some depts use ventilation as a way to locate the fire by providing oxygen to bring out the hidden hot spots. But generally ventilation are done at the same time.

Hi! Thank you for answering all these questions (and fighting fires). In your experience, under what circumstances would a house fire go out on its own? If it started in the kitchen for example?

Asked by Emma about 7 years ago

Seen it happen. Family left a candle burning on coffee table. Set the table on fire and caught the carpet on fire burned the carpet then went out. Depends on what is burning and how much fuel is available.
