Firefighter Job Description
I came across this article on http://www.bestjobdescriptions.com/. It just goes to show that the job of a firefighter is truley all encompassing. You never know what you will come across in a day on the job of a firefighter!
The Firefighter job involves the protection of life and property by combating, extinguishing and preventing fires.
The Firefighters primary objectives are:
The Firefighter primary objective is to save the life of a person.
The Firefighter objective is the protection of life and property.
The Firefighter objective is to combat fires by extinguishing or preventing fires.
The Firefighters work consists in constant training for and participating in fire fighting duties. The Firefighter often provides emergency care for sick and injured persons. The Firefighter participates in fire prevention activities on their assigned shifts. Often the Firefighter may go to schools and participate in fire drills. The teaching of children on what to do is very important in saving lives. In past history a Dalmatian dog was saved from a fire and became known as Sparky the “Fire House Dog”. Coloring books with instructions for young children were created to help teach them what to do in case of a fire.

Health Education Benefits Fire Departments' Bottom Line
Protecting the health and safety of firefighters both on and off the job leads to significant cost savings, said Kerry Kuel, a doctor and researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, during a session at Fire-Rescue International. Kuel spearheaded a multi-year study that showed educating firefighters about healthful eating and exercise habits can reduce both the number of injuries on the job and illnesses, such as diabetes and heart disease.
