Firefighter Stats
Hi....Me again....Now this is NOT another Career vs Vollie post...Someone asked for stats (I think it was Heather)...So, I got nosey and found this information from the United States Fire Administration....all stats are from 2008. Total Firefighters in US 1,148,850...Career 321,700, Volunteer 827,150. Firefighter age groups.... ages....16-19... 4%, 20-29... 25%, 30-39...26%, 40-49...24%, 50-59...15%, >60...6%. 76% of Career Firefighters are in communities of 25,000 or more ......96% of Volunteer Firefighters are in communities of 25000 or less of which 50% are in rural areas with populations of less that 2500......I found this little exercise very interesting (doesn't take much to get me "interested" I guess....LOL) Stay safe....always remember to Keep the Faith......Paul

You haven't earned it and besides it is much too late for that, it's already 1400, must be something wrong with your watch!

I had help with the big words but I still did it. I figured out why my head hurt so bad though. I had my special helmet on too tight. Oops the short bus is here got to go.

Hey guess what I found....Divorce rates for Firefighters currently is between 75% and 87% depending on where you are.....Damn, I'm getting good at this crap......LOL

dang 87 % - WTF ?!?!?! that leaves almost NO ONE left in the fire service married - we suck at self-care... and apparently marital nurturance
THANKS... where did you find it - I want citations too..
and does this mean, since you are "good at this crap" you can find the rest of the items (with citations) on my list... pretty pleeeezzzzzeeee
OK - now i realize i sound like a super stalker when I say you are WICKED AWESOME...
