CAREER OF THE DAY:

Firefighter: Some children dream of being firefighters – they often see it as an exciting, courageous job that also helps people. Firefighters’ duties range from putting out fires to driving fire trucks to rescue and sometimes treating victims. Some firefighters specialize in handling hazardous materials or managing forest fires. Firefighters typically need to pass a series of written and physical tests and often hold an emergency medical technician (EMT) certification.
