i have a ? for u girls.. i am looking to become a full time firefighter and i was wondering what is the hardest part for u(the girlfriend or wife)??

The hardest thing for me was pagers going off at the worst possible moments.But you get used to it even if your planning say a holiday meal the pager goes off and hes gone.Calls don't discriminate.

I'd have to agree with Wildhorse. especially at like, 3am in the morning. It's also hard to come home from work and not knowing where your husband/boyfriend is, even after calling the station and no one telling you he could be on a woods fire call they just received. Not a good thing for a pregnant wife. But it does get easier as the time goes by. Just make sure you find someone that understands what they are getting into, so they don't put you in the position of them or your career. Unfortunately a lot of relationships have ended in this field because of that.
