Human: Do all firemen sleep at the station?

Assistant: A lot of fire stations have dorms where the firefighters can sleep, if there’s a fire.  But some have apartments near the station instead, and a lot of fire departments just allow the firefighters to sleep at home.  There’s no real set rule.  I know of some cities in the US, though, that have a rule that firemen can’t live in the city where they work, so they need to live somewhere else and commute.

Assistant: That’s an interesting question! Are you asking this because you want to know what they do when there’s no fire?
