They can also say they just need some time off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019d explain to their superior when they want to take the time off and for how long. If the firefighter\u2019s vacation request is granted, then now it\u2019s up to the others in the fire department to pick up the slack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time, this means that another firefighter or two will take on extra shift work, which is usually credited on their payroll as overtime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since firefighters can sometimes be paid 1.5 times the usual rate for working overtime, it\u2019s a tantalizing proposition for many of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For smaller fire departments, even if a firefighter or two is doing overtime, there still may not be enough manpower to respond to incidents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In that case, then the fire department might enlist firefighters from another local department to come on over and help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, this would mean that the original fire department would be willing to send their men over to the other department if they had to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Local volunteers can step in too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Vacation_Time_Does_a_Firefighter_Get\"><\/span><strong>How Much Vacation Time Does a Firefighter Get?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how a firefighter\u2019s vacation request would work, you\u2019re curious how much time they\u2019d get off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer? It varies!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really, it all depends on how the fire department structures the <a href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/firefighter-shift-schedules-and-working-hours-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schedules for firefighters<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a firefighter\u2019s usual schedule if they work 24 hours is to then get 48 hours off. That makes it a lot easier to plan their vacation time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, if a firefighter takes even one day off, then they\u2019d already have three days off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"280\" src=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Calendar-e1655133538532.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-503082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Calendar-e1655133538532.jpeg 350w, https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Calendar-e1655133538532-300x240.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Other fire departments have their firefighters on the 48\/96 schedule. With this schedule, a firefighter would work two consecutive days of the week in a row, such as two Mondays. Then they\u2019d receive off that same day over the next four weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that\u2019s a firefighter\u2019s schedule, then they\u2019d get several shifts, each shift 24 hours, to take off for vacation per year. The number of shifts can be between six and 25, so a firefighter could have up to 580 hours off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of their allotted vacation time, a firefighter can also chew into their personal and\/or sick time if they wanted to take an extended getaway with their family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_If_a_Firefighter_Is_Short_on_Vacation_Time\"><\/span><strong>What If a Firefighter Is Short on Vacation Time?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If a firefighter is new to a fire department, then they might not have that much vacation time built up yet. However, if they already promised their family that they can go on a huge trip, what is a firefighter to do in such a situation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firefighters have the option to trade shifts with another firefighter in their department.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t all that different from other shifted jobs. If you have a coworker who\u2019s willing to do you a favor and work for your shift, then you can later repay that favor. For firefighters, it\u2019s the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, a firefighter can\u2019t just trade schedules willy-nilly. They must have their superior approve of the trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A firefighter shouldn\u2019t use traded time alone to take a long vacation. Rather, they should combine the traded shifts with sick time or personal time as well as vacation time to go on that getaway they so desperately need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_a_Firefighter_Be_Called_into_Work_During_Their_Vacation\"><\/span><strong>Can a Firefighter Be Called into Work During Their Vacation?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably read on the blog that even when a firefighter is at home enjoying their time off as part of their regular work schedule that at any point they can be called back into the fire department.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can the same thing happen when a firefighter is on vacation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, unless in the most desperate of circumstances, it shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/apartment-fire-e1655133657102.jpeg\" alt=\"building on fire\" class=\"wp-image-503225\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>A firefighter\u2019s vacation is not a surprise. The rest of the department knows it\u2019s coming, and so everyone has adjusted accordingly. That staff should be enough to accommodate the original firefighter\u2019s absence so they can enjoy their vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, even if the firefighter is on a staycation, they need this time uninterrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019ll recall, a short-staffed fire department can always call on other departments in the area to borrow some firefighters, so to speak. They can also rely on volunteers. So there should be no shortage of bodies to fill in the role.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, what if it was a five-alarm fire event that was extremely catastrophic and wide-spreading such as a wildfire? In that case, then a firefighter on vacation might have to cut their time short. This would be an all-hands-on-deck situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that would be the exception, not the rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In almost every case, when a firefighter goes on vacation, they\u2019re left to enjoy peace, quiet, relaxation, and family time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firefighters are some of the hardest workers on their planet. Their jobs are immensely more stressful than most, and so they definitely need a vacation when the time comes for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, a firefighter can take an extended vacation and enjoy the time away from the department!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a news article from Inc., the ideal amount of vacation time is approximately eight days. &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"Do Firefighters Get Vacation?\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/do-firefighters-get-vacation\/#more-503860\" aria-label=\"Read more about Do Firefighters Get Vacation?\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503919,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Do Firefighters Get Vacation? | FireFighterNow<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"According to a news article from Inc., the ideal amount of vacation time is approximately eight days.
