What if I call 911 to report a fire, but I put it out before the FD gets here, will they still respond?
And, when I call in a explosion how many engines or trucks will respond ( although it depends on the department)

Asked by Ty almost 7 years ago

First off why would you be calling for an explosion, this does send red flags for me so I will not be answering that question. But as for the first one, we will still respond due to you may not have completely extinguished.

Have you ever helped put out a wild fire? If so what was it like?

Depends on the departments choice of the color schemes. Studies have been made but nothing is required by law for a specific color of the apparatus.

Does this job ever depress, disgust, or cause you intense anxiety and fear?

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?

Asked by Alexis about 6 years ago

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
