Hello. My question to you is is being a firefighter a lifestyle or a career? Meaning do you have to pretty much center your entire life around being a firefighter?

Asked by Mike about 4 years ago

Considering you spend 1/3 of your life during your career it is difinately a lifestyle. After 35 yrs and 12 more to go it develops your life. so between calls, classes there isn’t alot to do otherwise. But with so many kids today it seems to me that they think of it as just a job and there is not alot of dedication to the career. going to paramedic school not has just enveloped my life for the last 8 months.
