This includes motor vehicle collisions, house fires, medical emergencies, haz-mat spills, and other calls varying in size and scope.
You will be integrated into a chain of command while taking orders from a fire officer during training and emergency and non-emergency responses. You will work with other personnel in a team like environment in situations that are hazardous and stress-filled.
