There is no such thing as a typical day when you're a firefighter. Some days can be very overwhelming while other days can be very boring. It all depends on how many calls they get in a day.
Firefighters work in a fire station. They have bedrooms because their shift often last up to forty-eight hours. The trucks, their uniforms and all the other material is in the fire station.
To become a firefighter, you need a high school diploma. You also need to be between eighteen years old and thirty-one years old, have a perfect vision and pass the firefighter tests.
The average annual salary for a first year firefighter is around forty-four thousand dollars. On the other hand, a Captain, which is the higher grade, the annual salary is around ninety-two thousand dollars.
In Quebec, to become a firefighter, you need to do a DEP. On the other hand, to be able to work in big cities such as Montreal and Laval, you need to do a DEC before doing your DEP. Also, throughout their career, firefighters get additional training such as how to help a women who is in labor.
Since it is a job that carries risks, a lot of firefighters have to take time off work due to injuries. These injuries can be minor or can be pretty severe, like a disfiguring burn.
Personally, I don't think firefighters are going to be replaced by robots anytime soon! Their job is way too important and complicated to be done by a robot.
At 50 years old and after twenty years of service, a firefighter can retire. Although they can retire at that age, many firefighters decide to continue working because they love it so much.
Being a firefighter takes bravery and a good health, but most importantly, the will to help others. I personally would love to be a firefighter because I don't like having a routine and i really love working as a team.
