What Firefighters Do
 |
Job Duties
The job of a firefighter may not be what you think. Fighting
fires is only a small part of what fire fighters do. As a matter of
fact, only 20% of 9-1-1 calls are fire related. The other 80% are
requests for Emergency Medical Service (EMS) such as heart attacks, car
accidents, home accidents, drowning's, etc.
Duties are not limited to responding to calls. Firefighters provide a
wide variety of other services during their work shift. Below is a
partial of list of some of these duties.
Firefighter Duties
- Station and Apparatus Maintenance
- Continuing Education Training
- Community Education
- Public Service Work
- Building Inspections
Shift Work
Mesa Firefighters work 24-hour shifts. Work begins at 7:00 AM (0700) and
ends at 7:00 AM (0700) the next morning. Firefighters normally work ten
(10) shifts per month.
