What makes someone want to be a first responder?

Asked by Kayla over 8 years ago

adrenline Junkie, desire to help other and not being selfish.

I'm trying to decide between an ABC dry chem extinguisher or Purple K for my car. ABC could stop interior or grass fires but it supposedly causes serious corrosion issues after. Purple K doesn't but only works on liquids. Would you have any guidance?

Asked by Nick about 8 years ago

No brained ABC, cars are made up of so many materials. If your car catches fire it is usually toast anyway

Is fire living?

Asked by Matthew Loveall almost 8 years ago

Not quite sure what exactly your question is referring to?

Hello, im 16, in my sophmore year of high school, good grades, but i have absolutely no idea what i would have to do after high school in order to become a firefighter, im trying to get into the job ASAP (aiming to be a chief at most) any guidance?TY

Asked by T.J over 8 years ago

Well first and foremost it can take an entire career to possibly reach the level of Chief. Depenant on where you live can come into play. If there are volunteer or reserve fire depts in your area sign up. Consider Air Force in that they have firefighting positions. Expierence takes time to build. College will be neccessary to advance with degrees in fire service but more emphasis on business management.

Thank you so much for answering! May I send you some questions for research I'm doing for a novel?
