Firefighters protect the lives of others when danger strikes. Traditionally, this is when a fire breaks out, but also includes many other types of emergency situations including vehicle accidents, confined space, rope, and water rescues. Firefighters are called first responders for a reason. Typically, they are the first to respond to an emergency. Because of that, firefighters must handle a broad range of emergency situations as well as the mass hysteria that blooms out of a severe accident. | Requirements: Prospective firefighters must be at least 18 years of age and have a high school diploma. Prospective firefighters should fill out an application online or at the North Mankato City offices (1001 Belgrade Ave.). Prospective firefighters will take the entrance fire exam.

Applicants with the highest scores will be scheduled for weeks of formal training. | Categories: Firefighter
