     Have you ever asked yourself “What career should I get into?” If so, and you ever
thought about fire fighting, this is the paper that could help you make a decision.
     Here is why I’m researching this vocation. I don’t know about you but just the
thought of running out of a burning building with a five year old child holding a teddy
bear, flung over your shoulder, really catches my attention. I have heard and used the
word “hero” many times, but wouldn’t it be nice, for a change for it to be you? Having
someone be forever grateful and call you a hero, all in a day’s work. I have been in Fire
Explorers (a junior cadet kind of organization) for about seven or so months now and I
really enjoy it. I know a lot of other explorers that like it too. I also know a number of
firefighters that really like their job. I don’t know exactly what it is, it just interests me.

to prove that last thirty percent wrong.
     So far this is what I know. Firefighters start off at a low rank and have the
opportunity to move up. They get called for many different things such as medical aids,
all traffic collisions, any ringing fire alarm, structure and vegetation fires, they also
sometimes have to cover for other stations if the other station is occupied for a long


Period of time. Also, if one person needs to leave the station while on duty the whole
crew has to leave in the engine, because if they get a call they are all able to respond.
     There are many places to go and many positions to get into. The better your
education is the greater the chance of you getting hired. I know most of the tools and
their location on the engine, although their location varies with each different engine. I
also know that the main personal preference of an automobile is a big old Chevy or Ford
truck. There are also job opportunities in fire investigation which can be look...
