Firefighters

The Fire Fighters was created on 1927-01-17.

Baking soda can work if applied carefully and correctly. After all, it is the base material used in making the dry chemical compound found in BC extinquishers.

Depending on the type of fire, you can always use a wool blanket.

Firefighters often enter buildings under extremely dangerous conditions, as fire weakens a building's structure. Firefighters need to be strong enough to rescue people trapped inside a burning building, and they must be able to work quickly and under pressure. Without proper equipment, they could suffer from burns or smoke inhalation.

The schedule is also grueling, as firefighters often work shifts that are several days long, requiring them to be ready at a moments notice.

Some departments require you to be at least 18. 14 is the youngest to become a member of a fire company but even than you are a junior firefighter. It is 18 to go on calls. I only know this because is was one a 14.

depends on how many hours they ask for in a day! depends on how many hours they ask for in a day! Most full-time firefighters work a 24 on 48 off schedule. That means that you are at work for 24 hours and then your off for 48 hours.

Y3s fir3fight3r because it is a better and a little bit safer than a cop aspecially using guns having a battle with gang members risking your life. Im not saying your not risking your life as a firefighter but...

The average base salary of Missouri firefighters is about $44,000. But among the ten top-paying fire districts in the St Louis area, the average annual pay is over $70,000.

Firefighters have three basic workplaces.

The first is the fire station. There they train, service their equipment, eat and wait for calls to come in.

The second is their apparatus, which they use to get to emergencies.

But the most important workplace firefighters have is "emergency situations." These can range from car accidents to fires.

I was a firefighter for 16 years in Northern California. In all that time, there was only 2 times I thought I might "buy the farm" as they say. All in all, safety is of primary concern to any modern fire department, whether paid or volunteer. Every firefighter is trained in the mantra, "Us, Ours, Them, Theirs". We always work in a team environment, and modern gear and equipment is designed with safety as a first priority. Such things as NOMEX, a fire resistant fabric our turnout gear is crafted from, to PASS alarms, which don't go off unless they stay still for 30 seconds or more, allowing outside teams to locate a downed firefighter, help keep us safe.

All of that said, many of the environments we work in are extreme, by nature unsafe, and are hazardous to human life. In the average house fire temperatures are 800 - 1000 degrees at ceiling height, and around 300 to 400 degrees at floor level, where the firefighters do their work. In addition, many other tasks, such as emergency medical, land and water rescue, vehicle extrication and hazmat have all been added to the firefighter's mandate in the last 30 years, adding to the amount of risk.

Statistically speaking, firefighting is getting safer every year in the US. But if you Google "firefighter deaths in US 2011" you'll see that not every one of us makes it out alive.

Most firefighting foams use regular air. Before air is introduced, the liquid foam product is proportioned into water either ahead of time or as it flows through the fire house.

Air is mixed with the foam/water solution either at the nozzle or by using an air compressor (Compressed-Air Foam System(CAFS))

There are two key elements of fire combustion and oxygen. If you deprive fire of either then it will extinguish. Another means of containing a fire is to create a fire break wide enough to prevent the flames from bridging the break. Thus water is used to extinguish the combustion of a forest fire as you cannot remove the oxygen. For something like an oil pan or rig fire the method is to starve the fire of oxygen by covering with a towel or using explosives to create a vacuum.

Fire departments nowadays are asked to do many more things then they were in the past. Firefighters today are expected to be able to take care or medical calls, Car accidents, Haz-mat, Decon, Rescues such as high angle and low angle rope rescue water rescue ice rescue confined space rescue, they are also expected to put out not only house fires but car fire, plane fires, brush fire and forest fires. Also when a person goes missing fire departments come to assist with tools such as thermal imaging cameras. not to mention they are expected to do so many community service hours on fire prevention.

Most departments require a high-school diploma, or equivalent. However, to be competitive, you may need to be a certified EMT or paramedic before you apply to become a firefighter and having a college degree in fire science wouldn't hurt.

Different fires take different amounts of time to bring them under control and to extinguish them. You might have guessed that. Some fires can be put out in seconds, and others burn for days or even weeks (like a fire in a dump for old tires). There are many variables that determine the length of time it will take to contain and snuff out a fire.

The worst case scenario: you experience a horrifying flaming death.

== And aside from getting killed, one could get someone else killed. (Also, remember that smoke kills more people than the flames of a fire.) Then there's the fact that one could be ineffective in one's fire fighting efforts using incorrect equipment. The fire would still pose a threat. It could endanger others or threaten more property. There are even some possibilities that using incorrect equipment will actually fuel the fire or ventilate it more, and these things will make it worse. Fire fighting is not for the novice or the freelancer. The line between being part of the solution and being part of the problem is razor thin. To be sure, in an emergency, almost anyone can mount an immediate attack on a fire and be effective. There are fire extinguishers and garden hoses and such that will permit someone actually on scene to make a stop. What is the difference between someone who is effective in an emergency and someone who is ineffective or actually poses a serious risk when trying to help? It might be personal emergency planning, but that's something better saved for another question, is it not?

firefighters use carbon dioxide to put out fires.

IT DEPENDS. iF UR GOING FOR A CNA JUST FIND A LOCAL NURSING HOME IN YOUR AREA THAT OFFERS A TRAINGING AND STATE CERTIFIED TESTING. IF YOU WANT TO GO FOR YOU LPN OR RN THEN FUTURE SCHOOLING IS REQUIRED. OTHER THAN THAT IF YOUR JUST A COOK LOOKING FOR A BETTER CAREER AND INTERESTED IN NURSING THEN JUST DO THE ABOVE. IT HONESTLY IS A REWARDING CAREER.
