Hi, I am veteran trying to become a firefighter, I have shoulder impigment in my right shoulder, will the affect me from becoming a firefighter? Thanks

Asked by Ty over 7 years ago

As long as it would not impede you from performing the rigorous tasks that could be required no. After all it is treatable.

I work in retail supply chain as an EHS specialist. I am trying to find some clarity around the storage of certain household chemicals in a warehouse setting. Can I store Flammables and Oxidizers in the same room but separated by 20 feet?

Asked by BCH13 almost 8 years ago

Pretty much no. OSHD Standard 1926.152 should have the clarification you need.

how much do you get paid. can a girl be a firefighter

Asked by madison woolley over 7 years ago

when I first started in 1989 it was 14,261 a year and now mid 60's. Up in the East Coast and West coast it is considerably higher due to the cost of living. We currently have 2 female fighters and one of them had a baby last year and back at woork.

Hey I asked the question about hitting a fire from exposure. Please and and let me know if you still believe it is 2nd floor. Under defensive tactics

Asked by JJ Watt over 7 years ago

You need to keep in mind that you were directed to attack from the 4th floor from a higher authority so there is no freelancing in the fire service. Every defensive attack is different. Is there burning embers that are of concern that you couldnt reach from 2nd floor thus attack from the 4th floor. To broad of a question to give a certain answer.

Ok so was burning some brush which i've done 100 times in a open style bbq pit. So as usual everything fine were adding more wood one of the pieces is a funiture leg something went wrong it fused to the cast iron. (How hot before wood fuses to iron

Asked by Ddarlington36 over 7 years ago

Wood wouldn't fuse to cast iron??????

How do firefighters know where there are hydrants around a house they are called to? A map, memory, once they arrive, etc.?

Asked by CHILLI almost 8 years ago

Maps and knowledge. If you are arriving to find your hydrant you are behind the eight ball. You need to know it ahead of time cause it may change the route that you may take.

follow up to my post down below. I'm not looking to work both full time but i do want to work both if possible. If this is too much can we talk via email?
