Firemen have to be ready to spring into action at any time, but between emergencies they often have a lot of slacktime. My uncle was a fire chief and they did things like make birdhouses and cook dinners for the adjacent nursing home. They key is to pick something useful and not too boring, and that can be abandoned on a moment's notice.
