Yes

Hello Arringnl, I want firefighting to be my career too! I just have a question to ask. I know firefighters work 24 hour shift, but are they able to leave work due to a severe family member accident? Like a loved one getting into a fatal accident?

Occassionally emergencies happen. When that does you do what you have to and get guys to come in. But you will miss holidays since a fire dept works 24-7-365
