firefighters drive through the city at high speeds and climb ladders to sickening heights. these highly trained specialists risk their lives every day fighting fires. it’s eas y to see why so many people are eager to become firefighters: serving as one
is heroic and adventurous. but becoming a firefighter takes more than merely strength and bravery. before you can
become an active-duty firefighter, you need to spend about 600 ho urs in training, over the course of 12 to 14 weeks. that’s somewhere from 40 to 48 hours per week, which makes firefighter training a full-time job. training typically occurs at a fire academy, which is often run by the fire department, a division of the state government or a university.
much of this training is actually in the classroom. during their academic coursework at the fire academy, students study english, physics, chemistry, mathematics and fire science in relation to real-life fire situations. to be effective problem solvers and keep up good communication on the job, a fire fighter needs to be well-rounded. the requirements to enter a training program vary from department to department, but typically, firefighters must: ? ? ? ? ?
be at least 18 years old (sometimes 21).
have a high school diploma or equivalent, though many fire departments now require a college education. be physically fit.
have a clean criminal record.
have corrected 20 / 20 vision.
firefighting is a highly competitive field. thousands of applicants apply every year across the country, but
most are rejected. many departments hire every two years,
and typically give staff positions to about 30 applicants at a
time. while some fire departments only require applicants to hold a high school diploma, many look for applicants with two years of college credit from an accredited college or university. firefighting is so competitive, in fact, that many applicants obtain emt certification before applying to be a firefighter, making them more desirable to departments that are hiring. today, more applicants than ever have four-year degrees in fire science or a related field, which has made the field even more competitive.
to enter a training program, applicants should take three exams: a written test, a candidate physical ability test (cpat) and an ability test. the written exam typically consists of around 100 multiple choice questions and covers spatial awareness, reading comprehension, mechanical reasoning, logic, observation and memory. the primary focus of the physical ability test is agility, upper body strength and endurance. each task is timed and tests the applicant’s ability to endure sustained physical activity. these tasks reflect what students do day in and day out in the fire academy. it’s unlikely that an applicant who struggles to complete the tasks will survive 14 weeks of training, and so it is a strong indicator of future success. physical tests vary from academy to academy, but here are some common tasks:
? climb and descend an aerial ladder set at 60 degrees up 50 feet. ? drag a 2-inch tube charged with water 100 to 200 feet. ? operate a 30-foot extension ladder, which requires pulling a rope with tension equivalent to lifting a
50-pound bag of cement. ? carry a 12-foot ladder through an obstacle course.
? perform an attic, or crawl space, crawl in full firefighter gear, including scba (self-contained breathing apparatus).
? complete search and rescue drills.
in order to survive, firefighters must be able to think critically and clearly and solve problems quickly under extreme stress. this can be especially difficult in an actual fire, so training instructors conduct live fire training drills where they purposely set buildings on fire to give students opportunities to develop these skills. the overall goal of this behavioral training is to form good habits in students through repeated exposure, live fire training is conducted in burn buildings,
which are structures, built or acquired, to be intentionally burned for firefighter training. let’s take a look at what a typical live fire training looks like.
an instructor gives a briefing of the day’s activities, and students dress in their high-tech, multi-layered specialty clothing. these clothes can withstand temperatures up to 1,200 degrees fahrenheit. next, the students enter the burning building. one instructor goes before the students, and one trails behind. the students place themselves on the same side of the tube and distance themselves an arm’s leng th from each other. other students, who won’t be operating the tube in the structure, prepare to move the tube line forward as the crew goes further into the structure. the crew gets down into a crawling position as they enter the burning area, making sure to keep the tube line between themselves and the flames. as the students approach the area they will attack, they take their positions on the line, one operating the nozzle（喷嘴）, the others supporting. the instructor gives the go-ahead and the students open the nozzle, attacking the flames. at the instructor’s command, the crew closes the nozzle positioned away from their bodies to avoid steam burns on exposed skin. the nozzle operator moves to the back of the line and everyone else moves forward. the crew repeats this process until everyone has a turn operating the nozzle. when they put out the fire, the crew leaves the structure quickly but safely, leaving only the nozzle operator and a back-up crew member behind. when it’s clear the fire is completely put out, the crew works together to retract the tube line from the structure.
after the training drill, the instructor checks the students for injuries. once everyone is checked out and accounted for, the instructor reviews the activity and provides constructive feedback.
1. people can take firefighter training as a part-time job.
2. the academic coursework only focuses on the skills of firefighting.
3. a 30-year-old physically fit man, who was a criminal many years ago, is not allowed to enter a training
program.
4. 5. 6. 7.
the three exams which are required to enter a training
program are irrelevant to the firefighter training. after entering the burning building, students should stay very close to each other. the students should make sure that the building won’t burn again before they leave.
there are usually no students who get injured in the live firefighter training.
8. typically, firefighter training takes place ____________ run by the fire department, which is a division of the state government or a university.
9. today, more applicants than ever before have
____________, which has made the field even more
competitive.
10. the goal of live fire training is to form good habits in students through ____________.
