Firefighter

Duties and Responsibilities: A firefighter  is a rescuer extensively trained in firefighting, primarily to extinguish hazardous fires that threaten property and civilian or natural populations, and to rescue people from dangerous situations, like collapsed or burning buildings or crashed vehicles. In some countries, they are also trained in Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and operate ambulances in addition to being a firefighter.

Salary: $25,645 - $72,167

Education: fire fighters go on to earn degrees in fire science in order to advance in their careers. New hires must complete intensive training programs, usually at a state or local fire training academy. Some departments require their recruits to participate in apprenticeship programs that may include college courses. In addition to passing pre-employment written, physical and medical exams, fire fighters are usually required to earn certification as emergency medical technicians (EMTs).
