Full-time firefighters work 24 hour shifts. Their shift begins at 0800 in the morning. The normal shift is filled with activity. Running the fire department is like running a business, except that during the course of the business day, firefighters must stop doing support and administrative duties to respond to emergencies. Mercer Island Firefighters respond to an average of 6 emergencies each day.
