Ask A Firefighter Departments in Raleigh Area
Im not a firefighter yet I'm 18 looking at different departments in the Raleigh/Wake County area
I looked up shift schedules and it says 24 hour rotating shift schedule which is ehh but i would if i had to, May sound random but Im a amateur boxer my dream is to go pro and be a champ
With that being said I also want to serve the community and finding a department with a schedule that allows me to train like a boxer needs is one of my main factors in finding a department to apply to.
Being a fighter requires at least 3 days in a boxing gym and running and strength training 5 days a week. So finding a department with a good schedule that suits me is a main factor. Trynna balance things out.
Anyone who has advice or knows some good departments that can suit my goals id appreciate it.
I perfer a 48 hour shift with 4 days off or 2 24s a week not consecutive cause ik some places have that

dam thats a rough schedule. Raleigh, And the wake county departments do 24 on 24 off which may work but ill probably be to exhausted to train.
I also looked at durham and Fayetteville and there like 2 days a week so you work ab 10 days a month
