Has anyone burnt down 5G towers where your at? What do you think of people who do that? Also, why do they do it?

Asked by 72832 almost 6 years ago

Nope

When the fire department gives the "all clear" after the fire does that mean the building is safe to live in or just safe to enter? Is the fire departments all clear enough proof to give a tenant to say that they can still live on the property?

Asked by Jess Williams about 7 years ago

No. All clear means that all hazards are removed, or occupants are out or all units are clear and returning to service. It does not meam safe to enter.

Do become a firefighter, I know I need to do some EMT training, but do I need paramedic training too?

Asked by Madison A Keppler about 7 years ago

There are several different levels, not everyone becomes a paramedic. Takes 2 yrs to get it usually and is intensive materials and time involved. Some become basics- 9 mths.
