Steve Buschemi In the '80's, actor Steve Buschemi was a New York City firefighter in Little Italy's Fire Engine Company #55.

i work in one. i like it because i can help people.

If course there are jobs in Antigua and Barbuda.

There are teachers, police men, fire fighters, doctors, dentists, architects, interior designers, painters, singers, hotel managers, venders, etc.

Benjamin Franklin started the first fire department, the Union Fire Company, in Philadelphia in 1736. The volunteer company used bucket brigades at first, then they started using a horse drawn buggy with a fire pump and hoses on it.

Circular saws such as a K12 saw.

Chain saws such as an Echo saw or a Tempest Ventmaster.

No. In some rural areas the fire department answers all the 911 calls making it necessary to be both firefighter and paramedic, but in bigger cities you can just be a paramedic.

There is a suction line on every apparatus with a pump. The engineer, who drives the rig, connects this line to the hydrant and to the pump suction. Some equipment has this line pre-connected to the pump inlet.

In many fire hydrant systems there is enough pressure to fill and pressurize an ordinary hose (of large diameter) running from the hydrant to the pumper truck's inlet. That way, there is very little "suction" required in the pump, since the water is already being delivered with some amount of pressure.

If it is "dry hydrant" with no pressure, then suction is required.

Edit: Typically it is a Firefighter that 'snubs' the hydrant, not the Engineer. It is the Engineer's job to 'Position' the apparatus before transferring the engine into 'Pump' (typically, once the apparatus engine is transferred to 'Pump', it is stationary throughout the incident). There are different options for water 'Intake', they can be long leads whereby a supply line can be a smaller diameter (2 1/2") or a 'Short Sleeve' (4") direct to pump diameter where the Pumper is 'Positioned' close to the hydrant snubbed. There are also situational logistics which require two Pumpers (or more) to 'Relay' a supply line due to the fact that the total amount of hose on a given Pumper is less then the distance from the fire to the hydrant. It is the Engineer's job to figure out what pressure is incoming from the supply line and the amount of nozzle pressure required for firefighting at the nozzle. This determines what pressure you need to be pumping at. This pumping pressure must take into consideration elevation, friction loss of pressure in the amount of hose laid out, etc. It can be a life or death calculation for the Firefighter at the nozzle's fighting end which could very well be 40 stories above the Engineer manning the pump.

Well when you call 911 and someone answers it is called a dispatcher. then you tell them your problem and they ask for were it is and they have radios to contact the fire department. Then when they get the call they go out to find you. That is why they know where you live!

Yes, Firefighters have specialized training which spawns a language and bond understood by other firefighters.

When untrained civilians use firefighting equipment improperly, it can result in serious problems, not the least of which is that the fire continues to grow. Some people attempt to use the wrong type of fire extinguisher on a flammable liquid fire, making it worse. Some people may attempt to use a hose reel without understanding the power of a hose nozzle, causing damage or injury.

Even professionally trained firefighters sometimes make mistakes.

There are too many risks to discuss in this post but just to name a few:

Throwing a ladder can be dangerous if the firefighter does not look for power lines first. Many firefighters have been killed by electrocution because they threw a ladder into power lines.

Saws and Cutting tools, as everyone know, can cause serious harm.

Car extrication tools can cause harm if the hand is near the cutting/spreading end.

If a Firefighter "clicks in" to his mask without turning the air on, they can suffocate.

These are just some of the problems firefighters face with the equipment they use. Unfortunately, firefighters get injured the most with the tools they use the most.

$125.00 per sq. ft. for an average home. No fancy finishes. Average is different for everyone. If you add items like brick, high ceilings, fire places, high end carpets, doors etc... the cost goes up quickly.

FDNY

Firefighter- 86k

Lieutenant- 119k

Captain- 140k

Battalion Chief- 145k

My apologies to the person that answered this question and typed the above information, but the information provided is inaccurate (for the most part).

FDNY is actually one of the lowest starting paid departments in the nation. Starting salary for an NY firefighter is $39,370. Add fringe benefits of approximately $3,703 (overtime, holiday pay, etc.) and the salary is $43,074. When you work for a large city like New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, etc., expect to get paid less than the national average. The honor of being on their department and them allowing you to wear their logo on your peck is what you're working for (does wonders for a resume). NOW, optimistically with FDNY, your salary increases quickly, hitting $76,488 (not including benefits) in a matter of 5 years' time. If you manage to beat the THOUSANDS (literally) of people testing for lieutenant, your base salary is $94,300 (+ $31,548 fringe). So, what is all boils down to is your starting pay is abysmal, but the window of opportunity on such a respected department is bigger than the apple itself. Hope this helps.

FF/EMT

no, not legally so make sure you do every thing by the book in your new dept. and keep records (dates and times)of any thing you find suspicious regarding your employers behavior towards you. he/she might be setting you up for a fall to fire you in a legal manner. and remember the dept of labor is there for this reason

You can not be fired for being on workmans comp but you can be fired for not doing your job tasks according to company guidelines within your light duty limits. For instance if you continually come in late to work or are absent you can be fired as this has nothing to do with the workmans comp.

Primary sources of income for volunteer fire departments include support from local and federal governments, fund raising activities, donations, and billing.

Financial support from local governments primarily comes from those municipalities a department serves. The amount can vary greatly, and is often times a very small part of the departments income. The federal government, as well as states, offer a variety of grants that departments can apply for as well.

Fund raising, such as fairs, dinners, and raffles, are all common ways that volunteer departments support themselves. These are almost always organized by the volunteer firefighters themselves, or auxiliary groups.

Donations from individuals and businesses are also common. Many departments will send out letters asking for donations to residents within their first due territory.

Some departments may also bill for certain services. Rescue billing is one example in which when a fire department performs a rescue service after an automobile accident, they may bill the victim. Other types of billing also exist. These types of billing are more and more common as many volunteer departments are facing expenses that are far outgrowing their income.

According to Salary.com, using Denver as a base city, the average Fire Fighter makes between: $21,046 and $59,529. 80% of Fire Fighters allegedly fall into this group. Nationwide, a Fire Fighter earns between $13,268 and $67,659 Hope this helps! Visit Salary.com with your specific zip code to get more specific data. It's free.

A part-time fire fighter can make up to $37,000 a year depending on the position. Some positions require extra training or education.

True

It is unfair to characterize firemen as unfaithful. Relationships and marriages are difficult for emergency services personnel in general, though, and this is a known fact. The reasons vary, and can be discovered with additional reading.
