Should i take emt or ff1?

Question

ok, i am a junior firefighter and a junior rescue squad member. there is a emt class and ff1 class and the days overlap each other. i'm torn on what two classes to take. since i am 16 i cannot practice my ff1 skills until i'm 18 because i need to be able to go into a burning house to do so. however with my emt class i can practice my skills, i just need a high person with me like emt-e. so which class should i take?

Answer 1

Try doing something you can practice now. Such as the emt. I actually start emt classes next week, very siked. Though i am not 16, anymore :) When your 18 then for for the other class that way you have experience. Dont over work yourself hun, be 16.

Answer 2

The EMT class is going to benefit you more for the time being.

Your Junior squad will train you for firefighting, not EMS.
