What they do Firefighters typically respond to emergency services such as extinguishing fires and rescuing civilians from a burning building. When they are not on a job, firemen will be on call performing maintenance on their trucks, emergency service vehicles, and equipment.

During my observation time at the fire station, the crew and I got to interact with one another about various subjects, whether it was specifically about their job or something personal about them. I introduced myself individually to each of the fire men and told them something interesting about myself. When I told them about my experiences with boxing, each of them were interested and wanted me to show them stuff (Train). I didn’t do this until later on in the evening, when the men had an hour to themselves to rest, workout, sleep etc. During that period of time, I showed them a variety of skills in boxing and they even tried them too.
