The physical labor of prevention and suppression can be grueling. Whether you used to be a teacher or a carpenter, share an example from your previous work experience that demonstrates your ability to deal with obstacles and challenges on the job. Even if you worked in a different field prior to firefighting, share an experience that shows off your mental or physical strength.

"When I worked as a logger we spent days chopping down trees and it was physically exhausting. Even though it could be monotonous work at times, I learned about perseverance and teamwork. My team and I got along great and even had fun while we worked."
