Firefighter Jobs

Posts Tagged ‘firefighting’

i recently in november graduated the dod fire academy i have first reponder, fiefighter 1&2, hazmatt awareness and opps, and i have airport firefighter. the academy gave me 544 on the job hours. i am 20 yrs old been in the army for 2 years and am a sgt. i am willing to work any job any where for any money i am willing to travel and have the money too. i have thought about contractors over seas and would enjoy it but i dont think i could get the contract with no experience. i have thought about wildland but dont know where to look. i am open to any suggestions thank you so much

I work as a Paramedic now, and municipality jobs are hard to come by. Wildland firefighting has always intrigued me. I live in Michigan so would i have to move, and where do i apply to? Thanks
Thats what yahoo classified it as.

I am 23 years old, CFI & CFII about 320 hours mostly in 172′s and 182′s. I would like to find out anything I can about wildland firefighting, specifically what I can do to have a shot at flying for the government or one of the companies that they contract with. I guess a SEAT would be my real goal, but I’m mostly wanting to know how you even get started in that field. Right now I’m building hours (and trying to pay bills) looking for maybe a pipeline patrol job in a 206 or 210. I’m also looking at ag spraying, but firefighting interests me more. I’m not good at farming, I’ve tried. Should I try to join the volunteer department here in town, or maybe the rural fire protection guys, or will that make a difference? Should I aim for multi/turbine or tailwheel rating first, and what job experience will translate into a firefighting job?

So i started to think to my self , want job would i enjoy that i won’t get bored of , stay in shape , and be proud of.

so i thought of being a fireman , i saw them in action when i saw them on my street putting out a fire..

so Im going through this any advice for a Sophomore in high school

i know that it wont be easy , and school is necessary and getting fit

but im worried that the money would not be good
and school may be hard

and im not sure what classes should i take in high school

Im currently pursuing a career in Firefighting. I was wondering if i can get a degree and become an Arson Investigator, but still be a Volunteer firefighter. I want to be an Investigator but I NEED to fight fires and save lives or property. Is it possible to do both jobs?

What would you rather do? I feel that firefighting is a good reliable job if I get in opposed to coming out of college with a degree and not knowing what to do. I just really need some opinions, I’m about to graduate soon and I don’t know what to do. Thanks in advance.

Alwyn Ferguson is a Control Room Manager for Lothian and Borders Fire and Rescue. She combines her psychology and counselling background with her firefighting. “It can be stressful at times when you’re taking a call and someone’s trapped by fire”.

Doesn’t this jeopardize the lives of those in a burning building if a female can’t lift him/her?

Why is it that there a quotas for women in the firefighting profession, even though getting a job is supposed to be based on how you perform and your merits/experience.

If women are only needing to meet less strict merits than men does that not mean men are systematically more merited for the career of firefighting and yet are not getting the jobs.

Isn’t this the feminist definition of sexism? Only reversed onto men?
