Firefighters are responsible for extinguishing fires and rescuing and treating victims in emergency situations. A firefighter must be able to remain calm while under pressure. They may interect with individuals that are under stress or physically injured and must be able to provide proper treatment accordingly. Most calls made to firefighters are for medical emergencies, not fires.

In 2017, Firefighters made a median wage of $49,000. Between 2016-2026 there will be an estimated 23,500 positions available in workforce.

A student who is physically fit, with paramedic training and a positive attitude is far more likely to succeed in the workforce
