general If you had to choose a job between a fire fighter and a police officer, what would it be?

[Twilight Sparkle97 402]

I thought it would be great to create this thread since nobody else has created it before. 

 

Anyways, if you had to choose a job between a fire fighter and a police officer, what would it be? Me, I would choose a police officer. Fire fighter, to me, however, sounds more dangerous than a police officer. There both risky jobs though. 

[Clawdeen 14,139]

That’s a tricky one since I’d probably be terrible at both jobs lol.

I think I’d pick a fire fighter. 

[Northern Star 1,024]

My area 20 years ago? Police. Basically all there was to do was to drive drunken neighbors home. (Think like Andy Griffith and Mayberry, but not a dry county).

Today: firefighter, as that's was what spring consisted of: fighting grass and wild fires.

[Astralshy 26,654]

I also think I would be no good in either of these jobs. Disregarding this fact I would still choose a Fire fighter. I think I could help more people in this job as a police officer.

Fire fighter...don't like to kill

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

If I had to choose one, probably fire fighter, even though arguably it's the more dangerous job, with a ton of health risks that you could encounter later in life. But I'd still rather deal with fires instead of unpredictable people.

[Splashee 28,564]

I would choose police. I have seen how demanding firefighters have to be, especially the schedule and training. 

[ExplosionMare 18,062]

I’d choose to be a police officer because then I wouldn’t have to climb up so many ladders or use a lot of heavy equipment 

[Flying Pencil 3,024]

Police officer because using heavy equipment is not my thing 

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

Fire fighter because I don't have to confront people when they commit crimes.

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

I’d be a Fire Fighter. I’m not good at asserting authority over others as police often do and I find the whole idea disconcerting. A fire fighter on the other hand is more along the lines of rescue, preserving property and saving lives. While police are also in the life-saving business when the situation demands, I wouldn’t want all the other stuff that goes with it. I’m afraid of crime and would not like to be constantly exposed to it. Police uniforms are more flattering than fire fighters’ but I guess that’s not really the important factor here. (Sorry Rarity). 

[Partialgeek514 5,011]

I don't think I'd do well at either job, but I'd certainly rather be a firefighter. Asserting authority is something that terrifies me, especially with rough people. I highly respect police officers for what they put up with, and I love firefighters for their courage in saving lives. I think I'll do better sitting in an office though. 

[Clawdeen 14,139]

I think I’d suck the least being a firefighter. I might not be able to save you from a burning building but I could come roast marshmallows off of it.

[Fluttershutter 2,457]

I could be like Wiggum.

[Megas 27,628]

Definitely a firefighter, at the very least the public wouldn't hate me

[Gun Metal Zebra 2,227]

I would choose to be a firefighter, as I would not want to be in a job where I sometimes have to enforce some things with which I do not agree.

[Iforgotmybrain 5,676]

Firefighter easily. When I was really little that was my dream job. When I was about 4 I actually got my picture taken wearing my little fireman costume next to a real fireman who was responding to a call in the neighborhood.

Oooo, officer Boom c:

 

Neither really. I guess a firefighter .

[Samurai Equine 51,442]

Firefighter. And not just cause I'm a fire elemental.  From where I stand, firefighters have a greater record for actually saving people.

[TBD 17,254]

I feel more that I’m fit for a larger community service of varieties, so I would be a police officer. Plus I want to be  and show the ‘good’ example in what it means to be a police for the community “to protect and serve” again, against the odds- .
