Can I serve as a Firefighter even though I have a full-time job?

Absolutely!  Nearly all of our members work in a full-time job or several other part-time jobs while still serving as a paid-on-call firefighter.  In fact, that is what makes the family so special is that we come from a myriad of backgrounds and bring diverse skills and knowledge to the betterment of Fridley.
