There was a fire in the restaurant that I work in... it was contained but still the entire restaurant smells of smoke and I was wiping things down and the white towel was black when I was done.. I have a headache and my throat hurts is this safe

No the headache can be from extinguishing agents if they were used. Should have been wearing a protective masks at a minimum.

Hello Arringnl, I want firefighting to be my career too! I just have a question to ask. I know firefighters work 24 hour shift, but are they able to leave work due to a severe family member accident? Like a loved one getting into a fatal accident?

Asked by Alexis over 5 years ago
