Pros

Stable career with great promotion opportunities. The employees are fun to work with. Mutuals in work schedule get you a lot of time off. Money isn't great at first but gets better and overtime is always available if you want it. Respected job in the city with perks. Backdoor way to be promoted to firefighter.

Cons

Random work hours. Like a taxi for people with a cold. Many exciting calls though also
