Assignments depend on needs and sometimes seniority.

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.

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?

Are you often the hero?

Asked by Merle91 about 7 years ago

To kids we are. We didn't get into this career for that most of us got into it to help others and also the not knowing what we will do moment to moment. The thrill of saving someone or bring life into this world in the front seat of a car can be awesome. But it does have it's downsides. That being death and sorrow to pain and suffering of others and even yourself.

There was a pizza box left in my oven and I later turned on the oven to have the box burn. I never actually opened the oven and saw a fire but my apartment was filled with smoke. Is the food in my pantry and fridge safe to eat, or is it contaminated

Asked by Gray about 7 years ago

If any food is open such as bread, cookies and such I would get rid of but all sealed items no are just fine.
