Volunteer fire dep?

Question

i have some old friends back in Pennsylvania and they are volunteer firemen. They are only 16-17. How did they come about doing that. Its something i would like to do. I know live in Oklahoma and cant a hold of these friends.

Answer 1

stop by/call your local firehouse-if it is volunteer-they will send you to the fire academy-

some states have a minimum age of 18-

16 year olds are sometimes acce3pted into an explorer program-they  may go to fire scenes. but just help on the outside-settiing up equipment, handing out water, etc...

Answer 2

If you aren't satisfied with the answers you got from your local firehouse; try looking volunteer programs up on the web.

Answer 3

Go to your local fire dept. and ask to join. Any one under 18 will be a cadet. Just ask them........they will give you all the info you need to know.

Answer 4

In Australia we have something called the CFA (in Vic). You can start when your 16. They fight bush fires mainly.
