Into the book
Just because the fire department isn't dispatched doesn't mean there's no work to do.
In addition, maintenance of dispatch equipment and administrative work continue daily.
Although dispatches can occur at any time, the basic tasks that must be performed on a daily basis are the same as those performed in any other workplace.
So, the daily routine of firefighters preparing for dispatch is the same whether it is a fire station in a large city with many dispatches or a fire station in a rural town with relatively few dispatches.
---From "Are there days when you don't go out?"
I hope that you will become a firefighter with at least one thing in mind: consideration for others.
It's not a job that pays a lot of money, nor is it something that involves working to grow a company.
But your heart should race knowing that somewhere in the world there is a place waiting for a firefighter's help.
And the sense of satisfaction you feel after helping them safely is an incredible experience that cannot be replaced by anything else.
So, I think that the profession of a firefighter should be based on consideration for others.
---From "What is the mindset a firefighter should have?"
To conclude, no.
I also didn't go to a fire department-related department.
If you graduate from a fire department-related department, you can apply for competitive career positions.
This is a recruitment method called 'Kyungchae', which is a separate recruitment method that requires people who have studied firefighting-related theories and practices in advance in a firefighting-related department to take a test as a separate recruitment condition.
It is distinguished from the open competitive recruitment field where anyone can take the exam as long as they meet certain conditions.
---From "Do I have to major in firefighting?"
If you're asking whether you really need to be good at a foreign language, I'd like to first clarify that there's absolutely no problem working as a firefighter without it.
But it is also clear that if you are good at a foreign language, you will be given more opportunities.
As a firefighter or civil servant in the Republic of Korea, you will have opportunities to go on business trips, study abroad, or participate in training abroad. Naturally, priority is given to employees with language skills.
---From "Do firefighters need to be good at foreign languages?"
Firefighters work 24 hours a day.
So the lights that illuminate the fire station are always on.
I wait every day for the dispatch bell to ring, which may ring at any time.
So, I end up working shifts.
We organize teams and divide work into day and night shifts.
The format of this shift work varies slightly from city to city.
The most representative working method among them is the three-shift working method.
The plan is to form three teams, with one team working during the day, one team working at night, and one team having holidays.
---From "What are your working hours?"
Psychological counseling is provided periodically to all employees.
Especially for employees working in the field, a professional counselor provides one-on-one consultations and listens to their difficulties.
However, as previously mentioned, psychological issues are difficult to uncover for various reasons.
However, for employees who have engaged in field work that could potentially result in serious mental shock, such as a terrible accident or the death of a colleague, psychological counseling is provided immediately and records are maintained.
---“Do you undergo psychological or physical examinations regularly?”
What's the point of saying anything?
I feel the greatest sense of accomplishment when I help someone.
When a rescued person who was on the verge of death at the accident scene comes back to greet me after being completely rescued and in good health, I feel as happy as if I were my own family.
But there is something more important.
It's not only in grand and impressive settings that you feel this sense of accomplishment.
It always makes me feel good to visit a site where I can help anyone in need of firefighting assistance.
In addition, maintenance of dispatch equipment and administrative work continue daily.
Although dispatches can occur at any time, the basic tasks that must be performed on a daily basis are the same as those performed in any other workplace.
So, the daily routine of firefighters preparing for dispatch is the same whether it is a fire station in a large city with many dispatches or a fire station in a rural town with relatively few dispatches.
