Fireman / Fire Fighter
Your shift begins with equipment inspection — checking SCBA cylinders, hose reels, and ladder mechanism on your fire tender before a morning drill practice. When the emergency buzzer sounds, you and your crew race to a residential apartment fire, wearing full protective gear, using thermal imaging cameras to locate a trapped resident through smoke, and running a high-pressure hose line while coordinating with your Station Fire Officer.
