If a molotov cocktail is thrown in a very old wood dry building consisting of flammable furniture and other types of fuel, with good oxygen supply, how could the fire self extinguish in a short period of time?

Asked by Brylar Foustark almost 9 years ago

I would find it improbable that it would self extinguish. If it had limited oxygen than that would be feasible.

How long does it take for someone to actually get the firefighter job after applying ?

Asked by Jay about 8 years ago

There is no certain amount of time. You need to make yourself very marketable with education and exp which can be achieved by volunteering. We have guys coming down to to the South cause they can not get hired up North due to lack of job openings. So it may neccessiate moving out of the area to get a firefighting job.
