What do firefighters do when they are not fighting fires?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I work at a PoC department and basically we have 1 mandatory "practice night" a week, this means all the fire fighters meet at the station and work on honing their skills, there are also other practice nights if you are part of special areas of the department like tactical rescue and first responder, not to mention many weekends and such with special training course from everything from confined space rescue to vehicle extraction. We do have a few career men at our hall and they spend most of their day doing administrative work, meeting with schools, police, the city etc... doing business for the hall. As others have mentioned there is a lot of preparation involved in regards to inspecting tools, rope, apparatuses and gear. So the career guys are always working as well.

Hey Jeff... you forgot that the career firefighters usually have a schedule of 2 or 3 days on, then 2 or 3 days off.
When they're on duty and stay the entire time at the station, they take turns grocery shopping and cooking for the group.
Every firefighter I've met can make a mean lasagna!
