The McComb Fire Department is slightly short staffed and in need of new firefighters who are in it for the long haul. Interim Fire Chief Stephen Adams held career night at Fire Station No. 4 on Parklane Road Monday for anyone interested in becoming a firefighter. Adams told candidates exactly what they were getting into, both short-term and long, in the hopes of acquiring a handful of new career firefighters. “As far as careers, it is a totally different career than any other,” he said. “There’s nowhere in the world where you can to go bed at night, then be woken up by an alarm, and in four minutes, be inside a burning building — on purpose. “That’s what we do — we run lights and sirens across town to get into a burning building. Most people are getting out of it at that point, and we’re trying to get in it.” The city is accepting applications through Oct. 28 at the WIN Job Center on Marion Avenue.
