When we think of firefighting, we think of aiming a water hose and spraying water on a fire. Through the use of photo documentary this semester, I hope to show how fire science can and has changed and trained people in the profession of firefighting. There is more to firefighting then putting out fires, and different opportunities in this profession: Hazmat, forest, field fires, fires due to different accelerants, as well as rescuing people in car accidents and airplane – these are only a few scenarios!

They have a great program where the students live at the fire station and can go on calls to help and gain experience. If you want to be able to get great satisfaction out of life or the feeling of joy in helping others and the community, then this might be a course that you might want to look at.
