  1. Volunteering is a great way to get into the fire service.  You will be able to get a lot of free classes and training.  You will see and learn a lot about the daily life and what it takes.  You will be around others that want to be a career firefighter too.  You more likely to stay up to date on what town is testing for their fire department.

    Getting your EMT certification is a good step to take too.  If you can fit some fire science classes into your schedule, that too would be a plus.

    A lot of it depends on what city you want to work in.  What are their requirements?  Many cities only require you to be 18 and a high school graduate with no felonies to test.  But it is very competitive and you will want to give yourself every advantage available.


  2. I found two sites for you.

    Best wishes with your

    career hope

    Good day

  3. Most community colleges will have programs that lead to your career. Most fire fighters are also EMTs. You should give your closest college a call.
