Firefighter

When we are little kids we come to learn about firefighters and the generics of their job. They respond in big fire trucks, help rescue cats from trees, and put out fires with water. Little do we really know when we are young what these men and woman have to actually experience. As we get older we get to actually see what firefighters do, we may even see them put out the fires from a distance. But as we watch from a distance, are you able to tell from one firefighter to the next what kind of experience they have? Its really not that hard if you take a closer look. We all know that firefighters wear special protective clothing, commonly referred to as turnout or bunker gear, to help protect themselves from the many elements of a fire. In…

Unlike being a volunteer firefighter in a local town, being a New York firefighter is a lot harder and has a lot more strict requirements. “One of the worst days in America’s history saw some of the bravest acts in Americans’ history.

There are many different requirements, those of which include physical, academic, and everyday requirements, as well as proof of…

FireFighters Being a firefighter is a great job. There are many reasons that this is a great job. As a firefighter you get to help people, the opportunities you get as a firefighter, and memories you can make within this job are unreal. (As a firefighter memories and opportunities happen that are unrealistic and helping people the way firefighters do, can change one 's life.) A generalization of a firefighter is very simple. Firefighters have to have good qualities. One quality is having…

A woman covers her face to protect herself from the smoke. Residents hold their pets in fright as they watch the blazing, red monster slowly swallow their home. People trudge through the black, burnt paths of what once was a beautiful, thriving town. This is all happening while firefighters struggle to put out a deadly, devastating fires in Spain and Portugal. At least 35 people have died as strong hurricane winds swept hundreds of fire across northern Spain and Portugal. Authorities have…

Jake just woke up at 10:00 and just came down for some breakfast. Then he just heard the firefighter bell. "Danger danger!" yelled one of the firefighters. "A building is on fire!" Jake raced to the burning building. One of the firefighters hollered, "Aren't people trapped in the building?" The firetruck sprayed out water on the exit. The water gushed out causing a thick smoke. "Aahhh we can barely recognize where we are with all this smoke," yelled one of the…

lives; help save theirs Sixty eight percent of all firefighters fall victim to cancer. Protecting lives and property are two predominant objectives for firefighters, but it absolutely is no easy job. Ohio is one of only sixteen states without a law recognizing the link between cancer and fighting fires. Senators in many states have introduced presumptive cancer legislation bills; however, they get rejected because of the high taxes they require. Firefighters risk their lives each and every day…

Female Firefighters: Women in the Fire Service Female firefighters have been a fairly recent addition to the fire service. Firefighting was thought to be a man’s job. Since the Civil Rights Movement, female firefighters are becoming more and more common even though they currently only consist of about 3% of the entire fire service. The acceptance and proper treatment of female firefighters has been difficult over the past 50 years, but they continue to make headway. Gender bias and sexual…

Firefighters have extremely dangerous jobs. They get called to put out a fire, sometimes they even have to go in the burning building and save a person’s life. However sadly sometimes they lose their life while trying to save someone.

What they need are lighter suits, these suits would have the same amount of protection in them but they will just be lighter so…
