Do firefighters get to sleep during their shift?

Every station is designed to accommodate a crew for 24 hours. This includes:

  • Dorm
  • Exercise equipment
  • Kitchen
  • Restrooms
  • Showers
  • TV room

Sleeping is permitted, as is cooking, working out, and studying, although you must be ready to respond to alarms and fulfill other duty requirements at all times.
