I fight forest fires; It is a stressful job that does not have a balance between work and life

• After leaving the college, I worked for America and then became a firefighter in Washington.
• I often fight forest fires, which can be exhausted; Sometimes I have a little food and terrible shelter.
• Although it is a difficult task, I am happy that I can help save people’s lives and homes.

Last year, I combated forest fires with a firefighting car with Washington’s natural resource management.

I was working in the Metho Valley area in Washington, and the more there was a forest fire in that area, they would send me and my colleagues of firefighters to deal with it.

Although the conditions are sometimes harsh, I am happy that I was able to help societies in some way.

I accepted this job because it was my experience

I left the college during the epidemic because I felt that the college did not return me to a real life or evolved me into an adult.

From there, I joined America and worked for several seasons in green collar works. During that period, I was living outside my car, building long -distance walking paths, and uprooted the gas trees.

All of this taught me more than ever in college. On my own, I learned how to manage my financial affairs, how to repair the saw in the field, and how to infiltrate a public shower for free.

When I learned that I could make more money from working as a firefighter in Washington and that I have the necessary skills, I decided to switch jobs and help save societies.

The function is often brutal and miserable

Fire control requires a lot of work. For beginners, there is no such thing as a balance between work and life. If there is something burning, we have to be there to extinguish.

Sometimes, we have to walk two or three miles over the mountain and with five gallons of water in bags on our backs to extinguish a tree hit by lightning. Sometimes, we have to spend the whole day digging trenches in the sun to contain the fire, and then we must stay there all night to monitor.

Once, we were sent to a fire 10 minutes after we were notified, and we spent the next 17 days without breaking the fast -moving forest fires. You should be ready to go anywhere and do anything when you ask you.

We sleep wherever and when we can. Sometimes, the state pays our residence in hotels. Sometimes, we are in tents or on the cement floor in a rural fire center. Often, we have to sleep at the back of the engine when we get 15 minutes of stopping – with realization that if someone wakes up, you have to be ready to start.

We eat everything available. Sometimes, local restaurants near fire offers us free meals. In emergency situations, we eat previously packed military shares and everything we store in our packages. It is exhausting, and it crushes you to the protrusions.

I am happy that I am helping societies to stay safe

After all my experience in fighting fire, I am now very anxious when I watch fires in Los Angeles in the news. For me, it is clear that the fire season has become longer and makes fires more intense. As the temperature and dryness of the regions around the world increases, the fire is brightly bright and for a longer period.

Forest fires destroy homes and livelihoods throughout the country in cities that you have not heard about before. I just hope that governments are ready to provide housing, food and health care for us, firefighters.

However, I am pleased to see this large number of firefighting teams from all over the country and the world gather to save Los Angeles. Although I did not come to Los Angeles myself, I am still happy to be part of this brotherhood designed to save lives and homes. I will not replace it with anything.
