My dad' is a firemen and he gets soooooooo many days offI do 72-96 hours most weeks, occasionally 120 as a fireman. Thing is I work 24 hour shifts and sleep at night/take naps during the day when we are not busy. That is rare though; I work at one of the busiest stations in the 4th largest FD in the U.S. Firefighters rank as one of the most stressful jobs but also one of the most satisfying jobs. I wouldn't want to do anything else and I've never met a fireman who did not like their job. Anything over 48 hours a week is overtime which also goes towards padding my pension. I still have plenty of time off to do whatever or work extra/another job.
atleast 4-5 a week
Me myself, I work 45 hours a week, and not a minute over
