Asked by Jeromy Hinojoza almost 7 years ago

Finish high school. Get at least a AA degree in fire mngment or the such. If volunteer fire depts are in your community and sign up. Get your EMT and all of these steps move you to the front of the list.

School exam:Making a game where u need to save drunk people.
If a drunk adult person got stuck in a small children's tube-slide, how would the fire fighters proceed to get that person unstuck. PS: it would be great if i could get multiple scenarios.

Asked by David vk over 7 years ago

We would have to take apart the slide to get them out or cut them out. How about someone get stuck in the center of it by their hair?
