If I were to join the military would it give me an advantage of being hired as a fireman?

Asked by Angel over 7 years ago

Yes, Veterans preference but also maturity and discipline that can be lacking in those that have not served. My opinion is that all graduating high school students serve 2 yrs in the military like Isreali teens do.

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 8 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.

Not sure you can answer this as it is re:Canadian law but even your best guess is a good start. If a firefighter has been charge with a criminal offense (aggravated assault), can he remain actively working?

Asked by Poopsie over 8 years ago

Dependent on the level of the assault. Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence would disqualify in the US.

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 about 8 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?
