I would like to know how to write a letter on how to join a volunteer fire department. Should the letter be long or short? What things should I include in the letter?
Hi there,
I have been a volunteer firefighter for a few years now. I don’t know how it works in your country but over here volunteers makeup around 95% of the total firefighters and are very respected.
All you have to do is tell them a bit about why you want to be a firefighter. For example for me it was because I wanted to give back to the community, get involved and do something good for the people I live around. It doesn’t have to be long. Just be genuine and they will respect you.
Hope this helps!
(New York City) My landlord made bogus 911 call to get into my apartment that there is a leakage in my apartment, the fire department came and saw no leakage. Is that considered harassment? He is just trying to get back at us because we are moving out. If no one was home who would pay for the damage if the fire department broke the door? After all there was no leakage. Can he be responsible for unnecessary 911 call?
If he made it look to the fire fighters as if he had a real concern, he’s in the clear for making the call.
You might know it was harassment, but there’s no way you’re going to make anyone who matters pay attention to this issue.
The landlord would be responsible for fixing the door if he made the call and firefighters felt it was necessary to break it.
What to do if he does it again? If you’re home, let them in. You’re moving away soon anyway, so don’t let him clutter your mind with pointless anger over his stupid stuff.
On Facebook, the popular kids that I know sometimes have bon fires in some beach. What is a beach in the Miami area that allows bon fires at night? Is there one in Key Biscayne? Thanks!
All the beaches in Miami-Dade are municipal or county parks. They all require a fire permit which you have to apply for in advance. That doesn’t mean people don’t try to get away with it, but if someone spots a fire, they’ll likely call it in. The fire dep’t (Key Biscayne has at least one fire station I know of) is only a phone call away & they’ll bring the police with them. So you call them first & see if you can get a permit.
