About The Position

This is skilled firefighting work in combating, extinguishing and preventing
aircraft, structural, ground equipment and other fires: in answering emergency
calls, and in operation and maintenance of fire department equipment, apparatus
and station facilities. Work involves training for and participating in duties
of protecting life and property by firefighting and rescue activities, usually
under close supervision. Employees of this class are required to learn and
participate in the operation of apparatus and the performance of hazardous tasks

major portion of time is spent in routine duties in the care and maintenance of

individual understanding of firefighting methods.
