Joys of being a volunteer firefighter

Getting paged out at 2am to a fire alarm activation that ends up being a faulty sensor. Now go back to sleep 馃檮

Whats the on-call difference between a volunteer and a full time firefighter?

Full time or career firefighters usually work shifts and are in the station during their hours like a regular job.

Volunteers usually carry pagers and go when there is a call coming in, and we go for training regularly LOL@Funkyfreakshow

@TheotherAndy Cool! Thanks for the insight! Does Canada have a civil service exam you need to pass like in the US to become a firefighter?
@Funkyfreakshow there are a number of them ( differences)outside of actually dealing with the myriad of emergencies both volunteers and paid/on call firefighters deal with.
