What does shift night mean in relation to vol. firefighters

Asked by ... about 10 years ago

Usually volunteers have to pull some duty to ensure that there are people to respond. A neighboring volunteer fire dept has their volunteers pull a night shift from 8 pm to 6 am at least once a month. So this is probably what you are refering to.

What is the best way to become a firefighter? For example get a degree and apply, or is it possible to apply without a degree and slowly work your way up?

Asked by Hemlin almost 10 years ago

Several ways. First dependant on where you live you can join a volunteer fire department. You do not neccessarilly have to have a college degree before you start or even upon completion of your career. I do recommend getting you EMT in that the majority of Fire Dept. responses are for EMS calls.
