Finish high school. Get at least a AA degree in fire mngment or the such. If volunteer fire depts are in your community and sign up. Get your EMT and all of these steps move you to the front of the list.

I’ve applied to become a volunteer fire station. What I’m curious about is sleeping. How often do you get calls during the night on average? And would you say working these kinda hours has messed up your sleep schedule?

Asked by John about 7 years ago

There is no telling, last night and none but shift before I had 3 at night. You can be sound asleep and 10 sec later your heart is running 130 bpm. There no way to prepare other than keeping your self rested before shft.

School exam:Making a game where u need to save drunk people.
If a drunk adult person got stuck in a small children's tube-slide, how would the fire fighters proceed to get that person unstuck. PS: it would be great if i could get multiple scenarios.

Asked by David vk almost 7 years ago

We would have to take apart the slide to get them out or cut them out. How about someone get stuck in the center of it by their hair?
