Where this path can lead
Saving Lives and Helping others: You will engage in something greater than yourself by saving lives, protecting property and the environment, and serving the community through emergency preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery.
Job Security and Benefits: Careers in the industry often come with job stability and benefits such as healthcare, educational assistance, promotions/advancements, pensions/retirement.
Variety and Excitement: Almost every response will be different, keeping the day-to-day interesting and dynamic. Although the job can be stressful at times, you will experience things other people will never get to do. Depending on your specific job and area you work in, you could have the opportunity to do a multitude of jobs such as swift water/cliff/cave rescue, hazmat operations, wilderness aid, and many more options.
Teamwork and Camaraderie: It’s a shared-mission based industry with a strong sense of bonding and collaboration. More often than not meaningful connections will be established which create lifelong friendships and family.
Value: First responders make a positive impact not only on patients and their communities but also on themselves. First responders learn to remain focused under pressure, how to be emotionally resilient, and adapt to challenges. These skills will last a lifetime.
Flexible work schedules: Depending on the specific job and area within the industry, hours can be flexible. In emergency medical services, it's common to work 10 days a month, allowing time outside of work to spend with family, pursue hobbies, or maintain another job.
Recognition: First responders are admired for their courage, dedication, and impact on their community. Public gratitude and respect can be highly rewarding.
Learning and Training: The first responder industry is ever changing and must always adapt to new technologies and challenges. It is typical for first responder organizations to routinely have training sessions and to teach employees new information and skills. It's also common to dedicate time during the workday for physical health and fitness.
