There are no standard tuition and fee rates for colleges and universities. Each institution will have rates particular to itself. There are a number of variables to consider to include whether the institution is public or private, the geographical location, the specific program of study (some of which have greater course and/or clinical fees), and whether the school is a two year or four year institution. Once you collect the names of some colleges and universities you have an interest in, you can then research the cost specific to those institutions. Still, the most prevalent schools offering this program are community colleges, and the community college is much less expensive than the four year colleges and universities.

Next year I'l be attending the University of New Haven for Fire Science Administration and it cost about 44,000 a year but in Rhode Island a 2 year course is offered through CCRI and the cost much low and so are the standards.

According to statistics provided by the United States Fire Administration www.usfa.fema.gov (http://www.usfa.fema.gov) there are 1,082,500 firefighters in the US 278,300 career and 804,200 volunteer.

Hi

I suppose it would depend on what field you are in (i.e Legal Secretaries sometimes need to have ILEX or similar) although I am a Finance Secretary and don't have a finance qualification.

I would say what is more important is a good standard of general education (maths, English etc.) and experience in administrative positions and perhaps a typing/wordprocessing qualification.

Personally I am education to A/S level and have the ECDL qualification but what has stood me in good stead is gaining experience at a lower level of administration.

A smokejumper is a wildland firefighter that parachutes into a remote area to combat wildfires. Typical smokejumper fires are small (under several acres), isolated, and in mountainous or very remote terrain. Once on the ground, smokejumpers normally use hand tools such as pulaskis (a combination axe and mattock), shovels, chainsaws and portable pumps to attack the fire.

In military rank insignia are the primary method of identification. In most countries officers wear their ranks on their shoulders but some also wear ranks on collar. Enlisted men or Non-commissioned officers wear their ranks on their arms or collars. In majority of Navies officers also wear their ranks on sleeves.

No you don't have to go to college but education always helps. Most professional Firefighters go to some form of an academy that can range from 6 to 16 weeks. this is followed up by years of on the job training. Firefighters never stop learning or training

The first fire departments, though they should probably be called fire brigades, was in Rome. In ancient Rome slaves were enacted to suppress fires throughout the city. There were the slaves who broke the walls and tried to save victims, the origins of the truck company, and the slaves who used water to extinguish the fire, the origins of the engine company.

Water extinguishers are common and inexpensive to maintain. Dry chemical extinguishers are more versatile and thus quite common, although more expensive, and they are not susceptible to damage from freezing temperatures.

What I learned from being a smokejumper is that if a group of people are committed to a common goal and everyone works as hard as they can many great things can be accomplished.

The fire triangle consists of three components - Heat, Oxygen and Fuel. All three MUST exist together for a source of ignition to start a fire, which in effect is a chemical reaction. If you remove one of these elements, then the reaction can not occur and hence, no fire.

the citizens of the community they protect. Many volunteer departments collect their own taxes some run only on donations. Other departments receive money from the town or city.

It depends upon what kind of fire it is and where it is located.

In many cases, firefighters have easy access to water and a fire is comprised of ordinary combustible materials that can be extinguished using water.

However, some types of fires would react violently with water and different types of fire extinguishers have been invented to address this. Look at Class B, C, D, K extinguishers for more information about these other types of fires.

In wildfire situations, where water is scarce or very expensive to move, firefighters use hand tools, chainsaws, and perhaps bulldozers to stop a fire using a "fuel break". By separating the burning fuel from the unburned, the fire will eventually run out of fuel and stop, if the separation is large enough.

Fire retardant may also be dropped from aircraft onto fires in remote places, cooling the fire and making it more difficult for the fire to spread to other coated materials.

dear firefighter, i'm sending you this letter because i want to know how can you not get hurt will your doing your job by been a firefighter. do the firefighter's help people in the fire but if they get hurt in a fire what do you do in that time and the firefighter's go alone in a fire time or they go with other people.

In theory, massive amounts of water will put out most fires. However, there are several kinds of fires where the use of water will either not work or will spread the fire or cause other hazards.

For example, using water on a magnesium metal fire could result in the water itself burning, creating a hydrogen and oxygen explosion.

The average salary for an FDNY firefighter is $89,000 per year. The New York City Fire Department was officially established in 1865.

There seems to be no details of any deaths for fire fighters at the Pentagon crash site. All of the deaths were attributed to the initial collision and not during any subsequent rescue operations.

it is a non-flammable gas that is effective at starving a fire of oxygen. Like other fire extinguishers (foam and water) it is only recommended for fighting certain types of fire. more infromation and recommendations on their use should be available through the fire department.

Where is dothan? And why in Nuclear Energy?

Why do you call a fireman to get your cat out of a tree? Firemen have ladders that they use to get people out of burning buildings. You call them to get your cat down from a tree because not only are they trained, but have the equipment to do it also.
