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 over 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.

Have you ever took valuables out of a burning building before? I would assume objects isn’t a top priority even if it’s expensive or important but have you ever done it?

Asked by Fanny about 5 years ago

Yes, during overhaul or if we have time to get things out but it depends on staffing. I currently operate a 1 man Engine and I cover approx 100 sq miles by myself with back up 20 miles away. So with that said my time is very limited to do alot of things, lol.
