n your opinion do think vol. firefighters ages 17 - 18 who are still in high school school should be allowed to respond to a call during school hours ? or at least carry pagers on them in school?

Unfortunately with economics being such you may have to do that but I feel that a community should put public safery first in staffing depts. i am not in favor of either of these because teenagers tend to lack that maturity of being able to do both activities. But as said it is dependent on the communities needs.

I really needed some help with the questions i sent earlier but i have heard nothing. Well God bless

If it is being expunged then no it does not impede your goal.

I am buying a home that had an attic fire 20 years ago. What can I do to reduce the smoke smell in the attic? Also, what can I do to reduce possible carcinogens in that space (we have no need of going up there otherwise as it is not a storage area).

There are companies that specialise in smoke odor removal after a fire, you may need to have all the insulation removed if it hasn't before.

I forgot to turn off my oven broiler (oven was empty) for about 10 min, but sitting on the top of stove were my Publix Pilgrim salt & pepper shakers. My son said I could burn down our town house.
Is that true? if so how long would take?

Asked by Roxanne over 9 years ago

I would be amazed to see that happen but with that said stoves are designed to keep the heat in the oven. It is never a good thing to put things on the stove. So yes you could have a fire but it would take a faulty stove or accidently turning on the stovetop burners.

I'm interested in becoming a FF in 1.5 years after my military service ends? Could I go to school full time while fulfilling the the full time schedule of a FF? This would be to add an extra income to pay off previous student loans. Thanks!

Yes, I am currently going to Eastern Kentucky University online working on a BA in occupational Safety. Firefighting schedules work out pretty good for school.
