What are the physical and mental demands? What If I get injured? Why do I have to dial 9-1-1? If I call the fire station direct would it save time? The firefighters might not be at the station when you call. Even if they are, the firefighters will still have to activate 9-1-1 so that other emergency responders are notified. On the other hand, the 9-1-1 emergency system is designed to save valuable seconds. When you dial 9-1-1, the system routes the call to the police or fire unit that is closest to your home. Only call the fire station with non-emergency buisness. Why do fire engines respond to medical emergencies? When there is only a small fire, why do so many fire engines respond? What is the best thing to do for a burn? Cool a burn with water. Do not use ointments, butter, or other substances. For minor burns contact a physician. For serious burns, dial 9-1-1 immediately. What kind of fire extinguisher should I _____ for my home? Homeowners should buy an extinguisher that can handle Class A-B-C fires. This type of extinguisher is designed to extinguish fires that usually occur in homes including wood, paper, flammable liquids, and electrical fires. Do I need to put a smoke detector in every room? How many do I need? Smoke detectors should be placed outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. On floors without bedrooms, detectors should be installed in or near living areas such as dens, living rooms, or family rooms. Remember to test the detectors regularly! What do firefighters do when they are not on calls fighting fires? Firefighters work 72 to 96 hour shifts (3-4 days) at their duty station. Training and equipment maintenance takes up a good deal of firefighters time when they are not on call. Firefighters constantly train so they are ready to handle any type of emergency. Firefighters also conduct fire safety inspections in businesses and wildfire safety inspections on improved property. Firefighters must also maintain and clean their stations. What do firefighters eat on the firelines? What additional training is required? What about safety gear? When do I respond? What If I live too far from the fire station? How much time will be required of me? Once you complete your basic training and are approved to respond, you will be required to meet minimum participation standards. What are the physical and mental demands? Firefighter duties require the ability to perform heavy physical work, follow verbal and written instruction, and be able to work in situations where heat and/or stress are intense. All Firefighters can be subjected to very demanding conditions while fighting fires (wildland, structure, vehicle) or providing rescue services. Extended periods of work time may be required; walking, climbing, jumping, twisting, bending and lifting firefighting or heavy rescue equipment or victims. What If I get injured? |
