Is it hard to becomes a firefighter paramedic?

Asked by .... about 9 years ago

Learning to be a firefighter is a continuous career that involves training all the time. Paramedic is more intensive in that it usually takes 2 yrs to complete and now is considered a Associates Degree. It is harder to become a paramedic between the 2 in brain knowledge but physically firefighting is more labor intensive.

How do firefighters know where there are hydrants around a house they are called to? A map, memory, once they arrive, etc.?

Asked by CHILLI about 9 years ago

Maps and knowledge. If you are arriving to find your hydrant you are behind the eight ball. You need to know it ahead of time cause it may change the route that you may take.

Hey I asked the question about hitting a fire from exposure. Please and and let me know if you still believe it is 2nd floor. Under defensive tactics

Asked by JJ Watt almost 9 years ago

You need to keep in mind that you were directed to attack from the 4th floor from a higher authority so there is no freelancing in the fire service. Every defensive attack is different. Is there burning embers that are of concern that you couldnt reach from 2nd floor thus attack from the 4th floor. To broad of a question to give a certain answer.
