  2. Intro to Fire Fighter • Billions of dollars every year are spent do to fire or other emergencies. To me, that is way to much money to be spent on things tat you can prevent. But someone has to be there to fix and help with the emergency. That’s why I would like to get into the occupation of fire fighting because I want to help people. I do know a little bit about being a fire fighter because my dad is one, but I still am going to have to research salary, education, training, work environment and conditions, job outlook and related occupations.
