Firefighters

These tests and exams are essential for protecting the health of a pregnant woman and her developing child.

The response time for firefighters refers to the time from when an alarm is reported to the time meaningful firefighting begins at the scene.

Response times can vary from less than a minute to several hours, depending upon where the fire is and what resources are available.

For example, if an automatic fire alarm is connected directly to the station, and there are firefighters at the station, they could arrive very quickly. However, if the fire is ten miles away, and the fire department is staffed by volunteers, the response time could be much longer (e.g., 20 minutes or more).

Of course, if the fire is in a remote wilderness, the response time could be days, assuming anyone is even aware of the fire.

Probably, if you can prove that the landlord caused the problem. However, if the overload occurred as the result of another tenant you can sue them instead. Remember, in general, the landlord is NOT responsible for damage to personal property of the tenant, which is why they should obtain renter's insurance.

not alot of money less than what they should

They make holding your hand seem like the biggest thing in the world when i'm cutting you out of a car. I can make 5 minutes seem like a lifetime when I go in a burning house to save your family. I make those annoying sirens seem like angels when you need them. I can make your children breathe when they stop. I can help you survive a heart attack. I make myself get out of bed at 3am to risk my life to save people I've never met. Today I might make the ultimate sacrifice to save your life. They make a difference what do you make?

Prof. Jose Halamane III

They show courage by rescuing peoples home and/or companies. They also help by taking the time to care for them?

It depends on where you are. For example Clark County Nevada (the County Las Vegas sits in), Firefighters make 56% more on average than the national average. Salaries are posted online on a website called transparentnevada (.com) where you will see that with overtime and the way contracts are written many many firefighters (basic ones) make more than $150,000-$200,000 a year. However, over 90% of firefighters in the US are volunteer and make very little for their work.

Firefighters must co-operate with each other on the emergency scenes. Whether it be a House Fire, Vehicle Accident, Medical Emergency, or any other scene, co-operation is extremely important. Firefighters will have to stay in teams of, at least, two firefighters while entering a burning building, which requires trust in the other persons that they are working with. They must cooperate while extricating patients from a wrecked vehicle, also. This is because not only 1 person can do the job.

Firefighter has 3 if you count fire as one syllable or 4 if you count fire as 2 syllables. Honestly, I think that it is four. Fi-re-fight-er

The Salary is $41,267 in The United States.

Upon discovering a fire, let anyone nearby know (shout "Fire!"), get to a safe place, and sound the alarm by pulling a fire alarm or calling the fire department or other appropriate emergency phone number.

If it is a very small fire and you have been trained in how to do so, you might try to put it out with a fire extinguisher. However, if it is not out after emptying one extinguisher, get to safety and let the fire department deal with it, unless you have received training that tells you to do something else.

NEVER reenter a burning building you have left until the all clear is given, regardless of what you may have left inside.

Pay differs greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

In general, police and firefighter pay is relatively similar, thus the department that makes more money is not set in stone.

The pay depends on the city more than the job.

In the USA, the National Electrical Code is NFPA 70.

There are several national fire codes, including

National Fire Code (also called Uniform Fire Code); NFPA 1 (National Fire Protection Association) and the International Fire Code (International Code Council).

Each of these references hundreds of other codes and standards, including Life Safety Code, Building Code, Electrical Code, etc.

No but you can use sand. If you have some lying around.

In the Incident Command System (ICS), the Staging Area is typically managed by the Staging Area Manager. This role is responsible for overseeing the staging of resources, ensuring they are organized, accounted for, and ready for deployment. The Staging Area Manager operates under the Operations Section and coordinates with other personnel to facilitate an effective response.

No, it shouldn't be capitalized.

On average, it's probably on par with most other professionals, between $50 to $80k a year.

The range is very wide depending on the company you work for and the channel of your work. Here are some data based on actual information (2010-2012 data).

Value for your skills: "Medium" if you have a stellar character PLUS stellar sales skills. Otherwise, retail financial services is a low value career in terms of making money. However, I think financial services in general can be a great value if you consider it as a learning tool (as a skill or knowledge set). Investment services since the financial crisis of 2008 isn't the same as it was in the 80's, 90's, and prior to 2008. If you have a great personality plus amazing sales skills, there are plenty of other sales venues that are much more rewarding than retail financial services.

Insurance-Based Financial Services Companies

MetLife Financial Services Representative (insurance-based): Average compensation nationally is less than $25,000 a year--regardless of what you've been told. They often use the phrase, "unlimited income" to attract new agents. The fact is anyone can make unlimited income doing anything--like finding a lost treasure chest full of gold coins under the deep blue sea--or selling dirt if there are enough people lined up who want to buy your dirt. In most cases, the only person that has a real job is the sales manager in the office (aside from tenured experienced agents and those with a decent book of business). 15-20 years ago, companies like MetLife used to pay a decent salary to agents--about $35,000 a year (which is probably equivalent to about $50k to $60k in today's dollars). This shows how our labor market has changed especially in the insurance financial services sector. Not very good.

Experience Requirement: Low

Compensation Range: Highly volatile (lower the compensation range/volatility, the more uniform the compensation for all experience levels--i.e. medical doctors or engineers). Lower compensation range with higher average compensation is generally what you want unless you are the one-in-a-million superstar sales person.

Barriers to Entry: Low

Wirehouse/Brokerage/Investment Bank Financial Advisor (top 3-4 firms)

Based on numbers for Merrill Lynch in the Denver complex (2011): the top 50% of 80 advisors (40 of them) make an average of $300,000 to $500,000 a year. The top 25% make more than $600,000 a year. The bottom 1/2 (mostly newbies and those with less than 10 years in the industry) make an average of $40,000 to $70,000 per year. Aside from the ones who are "successful", the average compensation for financial advisors for wirehouses is about $60k a year.

Experience Requirement: Medium to High

Compensation Range: Highly volatile (higher the compensation range, you can see one person making $45k a year and another advisor in the same office making $700k a year).

Barriers to entry: Medium to High. You generally need at least 2-3 years of successful financial services experience under your belt plus series 7 & 66 registrations (or for Merrill, pass a difficult math test before getting the sponsorship for the exams).

Barriers to success: It is very difficult to make it past 2-3 years in the investment advisory services firms. The attrition rates for newbies (without existing book of business) is probably higher than 90% for two years. 90%+ of new advisors don't make it past 2 years.

Bank Channel Financial Advisor (top 3 banks): Average compensation nationwide is about $60k.

Experience Requirement: Medium to High - Compensation Range: Medium

Expect your first and second year compensation to average around $40k to $55k.

Barriers to entry: High. Banks have the luxury to pick from a large pool of advisors wanting a more stable environment with a potential for existing book of business (bank customers). This aspect also makes less productive advisors want to work for retail banks. Retail banks also tend to operate with less actual talent and more with "who you know" type of culture. It may be best to start as a personal banker or something similar within the ranks.

Barriers to entry: High compared to what you get.

---

Independent Channel (i.e. LPL)

I won't list compensation for this channel, because many established advisors from other channels transfer their books to independent channels, and newbies generally do not start here. The compensation range for newbies would be too volatile compared to established advisors.

Experience Requirement: In order to survive, you'd probably need at least a medium (3-5 years) experience level here.

National Discount Brokerage (Fidelity, TD Ameritrade)

For average comp in this channel check with glassdoor.com. Higher income range are in bigger cities with people making good income.

Experience Requirement: mostly call center environment

Compensation Range: Medium

Barrier to Entry: medium

If you are looking for a career in investments/financial services, an ideal route is to start with low experience required company like MetLife, Prudential, Northwestern Mutual etc. Building a client base is extremely difficult with other more desirable channels.

Primarily, they need a lot of water.

Some other important needs are:

suppression foam

fireproof clothing

compressed air (for breathing)

Since petroleum is a flammable liquid, a Class B fire extinguisher would be used.

Transportation for injured and ill incident personnel.

Under ICS, the "Medical unit" is an element of the "Services" branch, in the Logistics Section, and is only for treatment and transport of incident personnel. The "Medical Branch" under an Operations Section would be responsible for care and transport of direct victims of the incident.

The fire station has a dog named Radar in the newer episodes. The early 2000-2006? episodes they had a dog mascot named Dusty. Fireman Sam doesn't have any animals, only Bently the Robot. They don't show much about his home life.
