For most people, this would be the time to evacuate the premises. After all, their ultimate goal is to prevent and relieve human suffering and loss. They regularly put their own lives on the line to save people and protect property. Much of their work is physically demanding, mentally taxing, and extremely dangerous. When a fire or other emergency strikes, firefighters are on the scene battling flames, smoke, collapsing walls, chemical explosions, and numerous other threats.
Firefighters are on the premises until the crisis is over.
Behind every heroic moment, of course, are countless hours of preparation. Firefighters are highly trained professionals. Their services are essential to every community and every stretch of land across this country. But this is a competitive field. Wherever you apply, you'll need to show that you've got what it takes to meet the demands of the job-and the hiring process.
