Firefighter

How much does a firefighter with a four year degree in firesciences make a year?

You can make around 75,000 a year or more after 10 years. The average wage of a fireman starting out is around 40,000 dollars a year depending upon location.

we wear a full face mask to protect our breathing from toxic smoke and intense heat. when we are all "geared" up we have absolutely no skin showing. the mask is designed to allow a regulator (device that gives you low pressure air) to hook into it. the regulator comes from the SCBA that we wear on our back.

A. (park ranger) Park rangers have to be trained in basic EMS procedures because people at parks can sustain injuries such as fractures,animal bites,bleeding,poison Ivy, and other things. Most park rangers are certified first responders(advanced first aid,CPR,AED,oxygen, and basic emergency childbirth).

B. (law enforcement) Police officers, as most people know, are pretty much always at the scene of traffic accidents,fires,search and rescue, and medical emergencies.Most always, police officers are trained as certified first responders or EMT's (advanced first aid,CPR,AED,oxygen, and basic emergency childbirth). They usually have to help take over CPR and oxygen while the paramedics or firefighters get medication ready or defibrillate. They also can help get the patient onto a backboard or stretcher.Some police cars have defibrillators and LARGE first aid kits(some as big and well stocked as an EMT's) in the trunk if the officer arrives on scene first. (Almost always).

C. (Firefighters) Firefighters are ALWAYS trained as certified first responders. Most firefighters are EMT's or paramedics. Fire engines are stocked with all the equipment you would find on an ambulance( usually AED,Oxygen,suction,airway adjuncts,backboard,splints,OB kit, and First aid bag (eyewash,bandages,SAM splint,BP cuff,Aspirin,glucose,stethoscope,tweezers,scissors,penlight,ice pack). Fire engines are employed in medical calls because ambulances can be all the way across town while a fire station can be blocks away. Most fire departments have their own ambulances. Medical calls make up 80% of firefighters calls.They are usually first on scene (usually with police).

A man in Oregon named Walter was named the oldest Fireman in the country, at 95 years old.

They don't have to be beige/khaki. Many departments use black, and some even use red!

Both. You must work in the office to design new outfits, and out of the office for photo shots and meetings with clients.

Firefighters should be considered heroes in WHATEVER century they lived.

They rescued people from the twin towers.

They are usually called fire fighters.

These records are confidential and are protected by data protection laws. They are usually also kept from the public in case they need to be used as evidence in court. Exposing evidence to the public too early could jeopardise the case.

There is also the risk that you might not be the original caller, that you could in fact be the person being reported to the authorities. So they will deny your request to protect the witness who reported the crime.

Aside from that, the police do not handle emergency calls. Emergency calls are handled by an independent government-owned dispatch centre, not the police. The police have no authority over dispatch centres.

In the 18th century, the Dalmatian was called a "coach dog" as it bonded well with horses and helped protect them, particularly against theft. Later when fire departments formed, the Dalmatian was often aboard the first horse-drawn equipment because it guarded the horses at the fire house. Today, we often see these spotted canines around because of tradition and the history of the fire service. Links can be found below that relate this information.

Salvage and Overhaul (Sometimes called S&O by some departments) generally happens at the end stages of a fire. I won't go too into exactly what's done, because it would be a really long answer, but the basic goal of Salvage and Overhaul is to seek out hidden fire and smoldering materials in walls, floors, ceilings, and room or structure contents. The process can also include tarping of room contents and valuables to protect from water and/or fire damage.

Just as a personal note, it's the part of firefighting I hated most :)

State of Emergency in the above case means that the entire state of California is under a risk of forest fores.(I dint know the reason of the fire). So the government has given warning to all the residents to be careful and co-operative at the time of the incident...

This completely depends on the Fire Department. A lot of Fire Departments in the United States require that their firefighters are EMT-Paramedics. While some only require First Responder training. Some Fire Departments also have ambulances staffed by EMTs and Paramedics that can transport patients to the hospital.

all depends on where you are from. In small towns it's usually the district number for example district 6 and then the station number station 1. so it would be station 6-1 and then the 3rd number would be the trucks number for example 4. so that engine's number would be engine 614

in big cities it's usually by random or the district method. district 24 would have Ladder 24, Engine 24, Rescue 24, etc

The work schedule of a firefighter will vary depending on if they are employed or are a volunteer. Volunteer firefighters do not usually have a set schedule. They usually come in when there is a fire. Employed firefighters typically work 24 hours on and then have 48 hours off.

the truck is called a quint if it has a water tank in it... a tower if it has a platfrom a telesquirt if there is no ladder... or its called a truck... then on the apparatus ther are exstention ladders roof ladders attic ladders

Yes, Firefighters need discipline. If most lack discipline towards the law, and have a criminal history, they have a decreased chance of being hired or even being able to volunteer in some cases.

Yes... on most departments they encourage residents with extra points on tests

At the ages of 14-17 you can be an explorer member, which means you just can't really Fight Fires (depending on the station itself). You can take the Basic/MOD1 course as long as you will be 18 by testing time.
