Firefighters work extended shifts because they must be available around the clock in case an emergency situation happens. If you work in a district that does not see very many overnight calls, then there is an opportunity for you to earn a salary while you are sleeping at night. There are times when you might be working all night long, but then there are the shifts where you will get paid to watch TV, work out in the gym, or catch a nap. There are not many other jobs which give you this level of flexibility while still paying a competitive salary.
