Asked by Naisya Antoine over 7 years ago

Do you any handicap issues that limit your abilities if not than there shouldn’t be any issues. There are amputees that are working as firefighters now.

Hello, im 16, in my sophmore year of high school, good grades, but i have absolutely no idea what i would have to do after high school in order to become a firefighter, im trying to get into the job ASAP (aiming to be a chief at most) any guidance?TY

Asked by T.J about 8 years ago

Well first and foremost it can take an entire career to possibly reach the level of Chief. Depenant on where you live can come into play. If there are volunteer or reserve fire depts in your area sign up. Consider Air Force in that they have firefighting positions. Expierence takes time to build. College will be neccessary to advance with degrees in fire service but more emphasis on business management.

Major problem, impedes response, creates evasive action that put more of public at risk then there needed to be. Besides it pisses me off.

Hi! Thank you for answering all these questions (and fighting fires). In your experience, under what circumstances would a house fire go out on its own? If it started in the kitchen for example?

Asked by Emma almost 8 years ago

Seen it happen. Family left a candle burning on coffee table. Set the table on fire and caught the carpet on fire burned the carpet then went out. Depends on what is burning and how much fuel is available.

Asked by Joe over 7 years ago

Expunged means it is no longer there and should not come up. So you should be able to.
