An Administrative control for a fire department includes training. Before becoming an active-duty firefighter, a trainee spends about 600 hours in training, over the course of 12 to 14 weeks. That's somewhere between 40 to 48 hours per week, which makes firefighter training a full-time job.
Firefighters work under extremely dangerous conditions, risking their own lives to save others. They must have courage and stamina as well as great physical strength, because firefighters often carry heavy and bulky equipment. Despite dangers, firefighters take satisfaction from providing an important public service. Fire protection is provided around the clock, firefighters work in shifts, which vary by community and fire station. Some work eight-hour
