I'm interested in becoming a FF in 1.5 years after my military service ends? Could I go to school full time while fulfilling the the full time schedule of a FF? This would be to add an extra income to pay off previous student loans. Thanks!

Yes, I am currently going to Eastern Kentucky University online working on a BA in occupational Safety. Firefighting schedules work out pretty good for school.

can a fire fighter work 24/7 if they wanted to ?

What does shift night mean in relation to vol. firefighters

Asked by ... almost 11 years ago

Usually volunteers have to pull some duty to ensure that there are people to respond. A neighboring volunteer fire dept has their volunteers pull a night shift from 8 pm to 6 am at least once a month. So this is probably what you are refering to.

I really needed some help with the questions i sent earlier but i have heard nothing. Well God bless

Burns faster increases collapse time in structures is the simpliest way to answer that one.

im a couple months away from be able to become a fireman my chief wants me to start haing out around the fire house with the rest of the guys so i could learn , do think they will be ok with me there or annoyed?

Asked by ... almost 11 years ago

Thats how you learn and they get to know you.

n your opinion do think vol. firefighters ages 17 - 18 who are still in high school school should be allowed to respond to a call during school hours ? or at least carry pagers on them in school?

Asked by ... almost 11 years ago

Unfortunately with economics being such you may have to do that but I feel that a community should put public safery first in staffing depts. i am not in favor of either of these because teenagers tend to lack that maturity of being able to do both activities. But as said it is dependent on the communities needs.
