Question 3

Why do firefighters break windows and cut holes in roofs during fires?

Accepted Answer

Smoke and heat from a fire moves upward and then spreads outward. Removing windows and opening up roofs allows the heat and smoke to escape. By doing this it actually prevents more damage to the house. It also enables firefighters to fight the fire more efficiently.

Question 4

Our firefighters are cross-trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) or Paramedics. They provide medical support to Paramedics by obtaining patient information, carrying equipment, lifting patients, and administering medical care.
