Firefighters
Firefighters not only respond to fires, but also to emergency situations, such as auto accidents, when there is a possibility that a fire might result. In our Firefighters category, you can ask questions about what firefighters do, what their jobs are and the pay rate, how they help in ways other than fighting fires, how to become a firefighter, and anything that has to do with fire fighting and those who fight them.

Where can you learn to become a firefighter in Florida?
www.floridastatefirecollege.org Theres alot of info on that site. That's where i went to become a Firefighter. The Florida State Fire College is the best fire school in the state( hence the Florida State Fire College name :D ) . Theres many other places to go alot of them only teach you to be a firefighter 1 though. Which is only good enough for a volunteer firefighter. You need to be a Firefighter 2 if you want to be a career firefighter. Go to your local fire station. Im sure theres a few guys who went to local Fire Schools and they had to have been in Florida since Florida does not accept other state fire certifications. You will also need to be an EMT. Being a Paramedic wouldn't hurt you in the least. You'll get picked over anybody for a job if your a paramedic.
Why do firemen like dalmatians?
Dalmatians are great dogs that are very loyal. The Fire department used them along time ago to act as a siren when the water pumpers where heading to a call. The Dalmatian us to go out in the street and bark and warn people of a fire. Since then the Dalmatian has been used or welcomed by many fire houses as the dog of choice, though rarely ever used on the job anymore.
fire lifts are a independent lift they have independent power supplies that is the only main difference between them and lobby lifts, so when a fire breaks out the power is automatically turned off in the building by the fire fighters as water and electricity are a dangerous mix :):) As the lift has independent power supply and it is powered by an electrical motor, it remains in use. the fire fighters take control of the fire lift to transport themselfs and their equipment to the location of the fire. fire lifts are operated the same as normal lifts depending on the lifts that are in the building, traction lifts-counterbalance and steel rope and control panel, hyraulic-piston pascal principle-valve, fluid pumpand tank, fluid=oil.

I have bad grades but i want to become a firefighter what do i need to do?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for firefighters.
Most fire fighters have a high school diploma; however, the completion of community college courses or, in some cases, an associate's degree, in fire science may improve an applicant's chances for a job. A number of colleges and universities offer courses leading to 2-year or 4-year degrees in fire engineering or fire science. In recent years, an increasing proportion of new fire fighters have had some education after high school.
As a rule, entry-level workers in large fire departments are trained for several weeks at the department's training center or academy. Through classroom instruction and practical training, the recruits study fire fighting techniques, fire prevention, hazardous materials control, local building codes, and emergency medical procedures, including first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). They also learn how to use axes, chain saws, fire extinguishers, ladders, and other fire fighting and rescue equipment. After successfully completing training, the recruits are assigned to a fire company, where they undergo a period of probation.
Many fire departments have accredited apprenticeship programs lasting up to 4 years, including programs in fighting forest fires. These programs combine formal instruction with on-the-job training under the supervision of experienced fire fighters.

Do firemen use graphing in the coordinate plane?
Graphs, which are a essentially a comparison of one variable to another, are used in a number of training applications. You won't see a fireman dressed in turnouts with a clipboard and a sheet of graph paper on it standing on the fireground. He'd better already know his firefighting hydraulics. But back in the training facility,all fire fighters look at graphs to quickly grasp concepts. The flow rates of water, consumption of air from a breathing apparatus (BA) and other ideas often come with graphs to assist in training. This is no different than what you do in school when you use or create a graph. A graph can be looked at as a pictorial representation that compares two dependent things as they vary (changing variables). With a bit of practice, the reviewer can learn to quickly grasp concepts by looking at a graph that would take much longer to understand through explanation.
Where was the worst fire in the West Philadelphia area?
The worst fire in Philadelphia history was the 1963 Fretz Building fire, a 12 alarm blaze, that happened in 1963 at 10th & Diamond Streets. Though I am not exactly sure if that is West Philadelphia. The fire burned so hot that it actually started igniting fires around it due to heat alone. I am a survivor of that fire which was located in North Phila. at 10th & Diamond Sts. It was on Jan 1st, new years eve. This fire destroyed "3" blocks of homes, melted cars, blew up the corner bar at the end of my street which was separated from the building by a very small alley. I still keep in touch with some others who lived there also. The Osage ave. fire that happened some years later in Phila. was not the largest.. the Fretz building was to this date! Most of us were routed from our homes late that evening and I was just a small boy that was playing with my Christmas toys. My understanding to this date is that there were no fire company ladders that reached the top of the "10" story brick and wood building that burned and I have never known the cause of the fire!
I'm afraid I can't offer an authoritative answer but having read your question with interest (I love the "War March of the Priests" scored for organ), I did a bit of reading and found out from Wikipedia that Athalie was not a very nice person! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athalie Perhaps that's why "Athalie" is not often performed in its entirety, due to the unsavory nature of the biblical Athalie? To support this idea, elsewhere, an entry in the French version of Wikipedia http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athalie states that the play "Athalie" by Jean Racine (on which Mendelssohn's "Athalie" was based), published in 1691, "was the victim of opposition by moralists at the time of its creation". Anyway, my search also turned up the following recording which you may find of interest, if you would like to hear other parts of Athalie: http://www.amazon.ca/Athalie-Incidental-Music-Felix-Mendelssohn/dp/B000001SUE Do read Nicholas A Deutche's review on this page under "Customer Reviews"; it's very informative!
What are the two Emergency functions of the fire department?
Many would argue that if you had to narrow the functions down to two that they would be to protect life and to protect property. However, there is a much larger list of functions of Fire Departments in general.
Also keep in mind that different departments have different response abilities. For example, many Fire Departments have specialized equipment for rescue operations, equipment to handle hazardous materials, medical equipment and so on. With there being such a variety, that is why many would choose the two functions mentioned above as it fits to almost every Fire Department.
