Do firefighters have to take drug tests?
for the most part, most jobs, unless it involves athletic competition, only check for rec drugs, i.e. marijuana, cocaine, etc.
steroids arent usually an issue that they check for.
In the answer is yes they are because they risk their lives to save others. Firefighters are very brave heroes but people also have to honor them because they did their job to keep people safe from fire.
Why do firefighters have dogs with them on the job?
The dog most often used on a firetruck is the dalmatian, which is known as the "carriage dog" (the "carriage" is the fire truck). The dalmatian is one of the bravest and easiest dogs to train.
The only reason a dog would be found in a firehouse is as a pet. There are such things as arson dogs but dalmatians are mainly kept around for tradition.
What are the educational requirements for a firefighter?
to be a fire fighter you need to have at least a two year degree in fire science.
Yes a degree would be beneficial but is not required at most departments.
I would first call your local department and find out there minimum requirments which most departments require you to
1. Be able to pass CPAT (Canidate Physical Agility Test)
2. Be able to get your Firefighter 1 & 2 from a accredited fire college
3. Be able to get your EMT-Basic
There are approximately 5,200 women who work as full-time career firefighters and officers in the United States, representing just over 2% of the total. If you were to use this percentage you would probably come close to an international number... but it would probably be a high estimate.
What happens if your smoke detectors goes off but there's no smoke?
This may because specs of dust can cause activation of the detector as it has the same effect as smoke. Spiders also can crawl into the sensors which does the same thing- same way with deodrant, paintfumes etc. It also may be because the smoke detector is just faulty.
Fire can "go away" if it runs out of fuel, is extinguished by water or another fire retardant, or if the conditions necessary for it to exist, such as heat, oxygen, and fuel, are removed. The extinguishing method depends on the type of fire and its surroundings.
How firefighters use trigonometry?
Firefighters use trigonometry to determine the height of buildings and other structures. It is also used to measure distances and angles needed to reach the scene of a fire. Trigonometry is also used to calculate the flow of water or foam needed to extinguish a fire.
Firefighters use trigonometry to determine the best way to approach a fire and to ensure that the necessary resources are available. Without the use of trigonometry firefighters would not be able to accurately and efficiently respond to fires.

Can a person be prosecuted for yelling fire in a crowded building when there is no fire?
Answer
Yes, it's called Reckless Endangerment. When you make an action like that intentionally and knowing that there is no such danger, it encourages an action in the crowd that you would have probable reason to suspect panic. People get injured in panics. To put people in danger knowingly and without justification is illegal in all states. But get hold of a lawyer for specific citations.
Answer
Yes, freedom of speech only pertains to things that do not endanger others. FALSELY yelling "FIRE!" in a crowd will get you arrested. It can cause unwanted panic and people can be injured.
For information about the legal reference to "shouting fire in a crowded theater," see Related Questions, below.
The Great Baltimore fire was on the 7th and 8th of February 1904.
911 calls are either directed to the police, fire department or ambulance service, depending upon the nature of the call.
What do the firemen bet on dull nights in Fahrenheit 451?
They bet on how long it will take the hound to catch and kill small animals
On Apollo 13 what was the cause of the fire?
A short circuit occurred in the electrical system when the oxygen tanks were stirred. This caused oxidation and pressure loss to occur in one tank, and then the other which critically disabled the craft and aborted the mission.
The cause of the shorting was later thought to be from a combination of switch design and pre-launch detanking procedures where a switch welded shut, although this was unknown at the time. Normally this switch would open when the temperature rose and turn the heater off. Prior to this, there was a redesign of the voltage system and all components of the tanks were upgraded to the new voltage except the heater thermostat switches. This incompatibility allowed the temperature to rise during testing and to damage the Teflon-coated wiring.
Later, during the mission when the tank was stirred, the exposed wires shorted and the Teflon caught fire. In the pure oxygen environment, the fire was intense, and the resultant heat caused the tank to rupture and also damage the adjacent tank. One cover on the service module was blown off, which later caused Lovell to exclaim when he saw it as it was jettisoned " There's one whole side of that spacecraft missing!" Because the service module burnt up in the earth's atmosphere, as was normal procedure, the findings were made from an investigation into pre-launch procedures and reconstructions of the likely cause of events. The above conditions were simulated in a hangar, and another explosion occurred.

What are the advantages of promenade staging?
Promenade staging offers a dynamic and immersive experience for audiences by allowing them to move through the performance space, often interacting with the actors and the environment. This format fosters a closer connection between performers and viewers, enhancing emotional engagement. Additionally, it encourages creative use of non-traditional spaces, transforming everyday locations into vibrant theatrical settings. Overall, promenade staging breaks down barriers and creates a more intimate and participatory atmosphere.
