Fires and other emergencies claim thousands of lives and destroy billions of dollars’ worth of property each year. A firefighter’s job is to help protect the public against these dangers. Firefighters are frequently the first emergency personnel on the scene of a medical emergency or a traffic accident and of course, may put out fires, treat injuries or perform necessary tasks. Firefighters have taken on a wide range of responsibilities, including emergency medical services. In fact, most calls to which firefighters respond involve medical emergencies, and approximately 50% of all fire departments also provide ambulance service for victims. Firefighters are trained in emergency medical procedures, and many fire departments require their firefighters to be certified as EMTs as well. Job Opportunities
