  The best way to learn just about any skill is simply by doing it. But jobs that require specialized training are sometimes hard to just “do.” That’s why training in the Air National Guard is a great way to get your foot in the door of some of the job market’s most competitive fields.

Ohio Air National Guard

• Civilian Fire Fighter

  • Jan 2012 - Present

  Firefighters provide a wide range of emergency services. In addition to putting out fires in buildings and forests, they are also often the quickest responders to such emergencies as sudden serious illnesses, accidents or car crashes. There they act as emergency medical personnel to help stabilize situations. The act of fighting fires takes much complex strategy and physical endurance. Fire often traps victims inside burning buildings and necessitates that firefighters assist with their removal. Firefighters must consider how much of a building can be saved or salvaged in the event of a fire. They must obtain a building layout to determine where structural damage will compromise the integrity of the building and endanger entering personnel. Firefighters must be familiar with tools including hoses, hydrants, axes, chainsaws and other instruments to clear forest areas or bust into buildings. Show less
