If firefighters worked a 12 hour night shift, wouldn't they still sleep?
Or would you want them to stay awake in case their services were required?
To me it makes more sense for firefighters to work 24 hours shifts.
That way they can spend the days training and cleaning the trucks and equipment, and at night they are on call.
