Firefighting
Firefighters are first responders trained for the worst day of someone's life. This internship puts you inside a fire station responding to community emergencies — from the alert and dispatch, through size-up and fire attack, to overhaul, safety, and the post-incident review. You will learn the discipline, teamwork, and decision-making that the job demands, and what the path into it looks like.
