I am 24 weeks pregnant and just started my training today. When do I tell them I am pregnant? I did not tell them during my interview because I was worried they would judge me and I would not get the job. Can they fire me when they find out I am pregnant? What should I do? I am very concerned. Thank you for your help and advice!

nope they can not against the law, and you don’t have to tell them till you want to or its obvious, even then you don’t owe any explanations. congratulations

In Taxi Driver why did Robert De Niro put his hand over a fire as he was training?
He was training to be stronger or something and there was a part where he put his hand over a stove top that was on. Is this a fire endurance training or something?
I know it’s a movie but it seems to be some type of endurance training.

There’s no endurance to it, your skin isn’t gonna become more heat resistant just because you burn it. Pain tolerance is something you built over time, eventually you’ll learn to suck it up. I’ve been cut, bruised, and burnt, when your a kid you cry, when you grow up it’s mind over matter. You just learn to deal with it, I don’t see what you would accomplish by burning yourself other than some unnecessary pain.

I would like to know if the Chief of that Dept can authorize and Issue the safety officer a Red Light Card, permitting the member to use Red and White Lights along with a siren to respond to the call. I have tried to look this up and for the most part I understood that the Chief can authorize ANY member to run Red and White lights on their POV. As long as they are issued a Red Light Authorization card. Any info would help. Thanks!

They can.

He enjoys the challenges of the job and especially the confidence displayed in him by the fire fighters and community. Recently, a police officer had a serious vehicle accident while on duty, injuring a citizen. It was proven that the officer had two beers with lunch just before the accident. The town, police chief, and the officer have all been sued by the victim’s family. At a recent town meeting, many citizens made it clear that drunk driving would not be tolerated by any public employee. The fire chief realizes a keg of beer has always been in a special cooler in the back room of the fire station. Volunteer firefighters gather socially and often respond to emergencies after having “a few beers”. The chief’s gut reaction is that the beer should go — no more drinking at or around the station. However, he knows that the vast majority of members who re-elected him would greatly resist efforts to eliminate the traditional keg of beer. He wants to be re-elected but doesn’t want to be put in legal jeopardy either. He does nothing, crosses his fingers, and decides to ask the fire board of directors to make a decision.

Is this action legal? Is it ethical? Why/why not?

What is the correct action?

Yes, it is legal. It is totally within the power of the board of directors to make that call.

No, it is NOT ethical. As the fire chief, he SHOULD have had the moral fiber to make the RIGHT, but UNPOPULAR decision on his own. What he has done was to make the BOD out to be the bad guys, so all he has to do is say, "Gosh, I want to keep it here, but THEY are making us get rid of it!!"

Typically they respond to accidents and are too late to any automotive fires to really do much about it. How often do they actually run into burning buildings and risk their lives?

Upon the basis that seems an extremely difficult – if not impossible – question to answer other than upon a local basis, I made up the following response -

Whether its day or whether its night
Whether its dark or whether its light
Against the flames the fireman will fight.
For every fireman has only one aim
That is to put out each threatening fame.

Im trying to decide whether or not it is worth going to the University of Wolverhampton to do a BSc Hons in Fire and Rescue. I want to be an officer.

I’d say no. Waste of money going to Uni for that:

What qualifications do I need to become a firefighter?

No formal qualifications are required to become a firefighter. However, you will need to pass a series of written and apptitude tests to proceed with any application. Any qualifications you bring into the service may help with future promotion.

I need to order ten packs online with express shipping (NEED THEM BY THE END OF THE WEEK!!!!)
I mean the Brand Fire Chief. I am not an incompetent human being; I am aware of where to find wooden matches.

Do you mean you’re looking for the actual Fire Chief brand name, or are you just asking where you can buy wooden matches?

Boxes of wooden matches (often called "kitchen matches") are sold in most grocery stores.
