Asked by Joe over 7 years ago

Expunged means it is no longer there and should not come up. So you should be able to.

Do you any handicap issues that limit your abilities if not than there shouldn’t be any issues. There are amputees that are working as firefighters now.

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.

How big of a problem was cars not yielding to approaching firetrucks? My engineering team in high school are exploring this problem and would like to see what firefighters think. Also, filling out this survey would help us too

Asked by Artur almost 8 years ago

Major problem, impedes response, creates evasive action that put more of public at risk then there needed to be. Besides it pisses me off.
