Sometimes You Train and Sometimes You Clean-Fire Fighting Chores

 Firefighting isn't always exciting! Most of the time firefighters engage in training and during the other times they are cleaning/maintaining. Keeping trucks clean also helps them get inspected on a regular basis. It is hard to see things if there is dirt and grim all over the vehicle. Cleaning them up, removing salt, and washing them down lets you see problems before they become bigger issues. 

We are fortunate to have the ability to clean our vehicles in a heated garage. Often places don't always have the facilities to do this without going to a truck wash. Here they run their departments well and stay on top of maintenance. Keeping trucks running during emergencies and maximizing the ROI on the vehicle investment means increasing longevity as much as possible. 

If your interested in firefighting as a future job you can see the salary, job requirements, etc.... on Zip Recruiter. There are also lots of volunteer workers needed.
