What does a firefighter do at the station when they are not fighting fires?

Firefighters work a 24-hour shift. We eat, sleep and work out of our fire station. We shop for, purchase and cook all of our own meals. All daily maintenance on fire department vehicles is performed at the fire stations. We are involved in educational programs in the schools and to the public. We perform fire inspections at businesses around town and track every hydrant in Noblesville, making sure that they will work when we need it to. We also attend weekly training to help maintain and continuously improve our skills.
