Firefighters must keep a clear head in life-or-death situations, maintain their composure when assisting in traumatic events, like auto crash injuries and fatalities, and put themselves in extreme situations, such as going into burning buildings, crawling through tight spaces, and entering other hazardous environments.

You must have the time to devote to the requisite firefighter training course. The length of the training can vary by state and the level of certification required — a Basic Firefighter Course consists of 115 hours of class and skills. firefighters also complete office work, fundraising, community service, and more.
