Are you on #FirefighterTok? Check out these firefighters-turned-TikTok content creators
If a fire service career doesn’t pan out, some of these responders may have a career waiting in Hollywood
“It’s just kids dancing, right?”
That’s a typical response to many discussions involving TikTok – well, at least when conversing with people over 40. And while dance trends are indeed a popular focus on the app, there's also lots of engaging content about a dizzying array of topics and from countless content creators, including firefighters.
As you check out these comedic clips, I encourage you to consider how your department could employ this social media platform to reach potential members or spread life safety messages to a younger audience.
Things that 'make sense' at our fire station
