Answer 2

It really depends on the area that they are based in. The country and rural areas are called only when needed. The larger cities usually work 12 hours a day. If they are short handed the shifts could be longer. The only sure way to find out is to go to the fire house closest to you and ask. Most places will be glad to answer all your questions. Not be afraid to ask.

Answer 3

It pretty much depends on the day. Fire Fighters work as much as they're needed, such as fires and emergencies and sometimes car crashes. So if there's no fires or anything in a day, then they don't go anywhere at all, and if there's a fire only once, they go only once. It all depends on how much they're needed on that specific day. However, they still stay at the fire station during their hours, as they never know when they're needed, and most of the time, they're needed almost immediately. (Which is why they're at the station all the time...). They also do alot of other stuff like maintenence and cleaning and blah. ^^; So they're still paid hours, but they 'work' on their job as much as they are required to. (Or how long their shift is...)

Answer 4

Shifts are usually 24 hours. How many calls they go on varies every day. While at the station there is almost always something to do- check equipment, clean etc.
