Pulled from city of Hillsboro’s firefighter application. The working conditions of a firefighter, perhaps we all are really crazy for the things we are willing to do…
“Requires some work under any of the following conditions: extreme heights, hazardous atmospheres with little or no visibility, extreme temperatures, exposure to toxic and hazardous materials, exposure to air and bloodborne pathogens, and exposure to disease. Requres physical contact with deceased humans or animals; may perform rescue on dangerous domestic or wild animals that have become trapped, injured, confused, or frightened; work in areas where dangers of death or injury due to falls, explosion, electrocution, building collapse, or entrapment may be present; work under conditions of extreme mental and physical stress.”
