Yeah, they only use those in dense cities - NY, Chi etc -they were designed to give a higher reach but need to have steerable rear wheels to make tight turns in narrow streets.

bc its awesome. cant get that type of adrenaline rush sending emails in an office, thats for sure....
as for 20/20, i dont think so, you have to pass a sight exam during your physical but its nothing killer...

^ It varies with the department but most are about 20/40 uncorrected and 20/20 corrected - which is easy for a reasonable healthy person.
Unlike the UK where the standard is insane...

at the end of the day that's what matters most when it comes to your line of work, that your doing something you enjoy doing.

my dads been a fire fighter for 15 years
right now im trying to get in as well, i took the test and now i gotta wait to take the physical which is in march
if i get this job i'd prolly be set for some time the off days are cool as hell
you could work for the department and have a second job or a side hustle
plus the discounts at certain retails are pretty decent
all in all its just a great job that i pray i land within the next year, year n a half
