This article is useful to read because you will learn more about one of the most beautiful jobs in the world, the profession of firefighter. I am motivated to write this because for 3 years I have been studying to one day become a firefighter and have a wonderful career.
Being a firefighter means, going to the fire station to wait for calls to save life, the environment and property. Doing this work is really rewarding.
A firefighter is about saving lives. He is a person whose main vocation is to fight fire but also to carry out various rescues.
Firefighters start their shifts by checking all of their equipment for proper operation. They will then wait for calls to intervene in various situations. The firefighters also have training and maintain the barracks.
Firefighters are mainly in fire stations, but they intervene everywhere in their municipality.
To become a firefighter in Quebec you must start by doing a 1-year DEP which will allow you to work in most municipalities. You can also continue your studies in a DEC to work in bigger cities like Montreal, Laval, Quebec etc.
"According to the latest figures, the highest hourly average (median) wages are earned in Alberta at $47.27 per hour and the lowest average (median) wages are earned in Montreal – Quebec at $32.00 per hour. A typical full-time annual salary for this occupation is in the region of $75,000 – $105,000."
Firefighters have a lot of training at the fire station to keeping up to date. All works team organizes training and sometimes the city requires training to keeping firefighters informed.
Firefighters always intervene in situations that are not going well. So, they expose themselves to dangers like fires, structural collapses etc.
There is no chance that the profession of firefighter will be replaced by robots because we cannot program a robot to do this profession. All interventions are different, and we need human contact to help people.
Firefighters retire after approximately 25 to 30 years of service. During these years they have had many experiences that most normal people will never have. They have saved lives, helped people and bonded very strongly with their colleagues.
I am a few weeks away from the end of my studies to become a firefighter. I want to start working for a small town and gain experience, then get hired in big cities like Montreal and Laval.
