I was walking past my local fire station recently which always looks a bit mysterious because of the darkened windows and there never being any visible activity inside. So it got me thinking, what are the people inside doing when they’re not heading out to fight fires?
Training, physical and educational, eating, sleeping, responding to other calls (trees that pose a threat or obstruction, pets in need of rescue). Emergency simulations. Repairing and maintaing equipment, taking inventory. And of course admin. Reports etc.
