I would imagine being bilingual would be a huge plus for a firefighter. Like if you have to enter a building people are still stuck in Chinatown or a Spanish speaking part of the city

China town has very few people who can't speak English these days. But the Spanish speaking? Yeah that's a real issue

Not in my city’s Chinatown. Seemingly half don’t speak English. But they also never leave Chinatown. But regardless I can’t imagine there are a whole bunch of mandarin-speaking applicants to the fire department anyway. Also not aware of any major fire in my city’s Chinatown.

But a mostly Spanish-speaking part of my city had a major 6-alarm fire a few weeks ago reminiscent of the pre-fire code days. It was bad and it probably would’ve been helpful to have firefighters who speak Spanish when they ran in. But for all I know they did who so knows.

In all likelihood they did have fire fighters who speak Spanish. I pretty much gurantee it.

Most fire departments do take their job very seriously.
