Answer 1

First, check with the fire department you would like to work for and find out what kind of jobs you can get with various levels of education. You also need to find out what the physical (strength, etc.) requirements are.

This site lists 368 firefighting colleges, technical and vocational schools:

There are 1848 colleges and universities listed at this site that offer degrees in education. Just be sure they also offer a major in history - most of them will.

You can match colleges that are listed at both sites and select the one that is the best one for you, likely the one closest to your home.

You are wise to get a degree in something in addition to firefighting because of the physical requirements for firefighting that will be harder to meet when you grow older, and because firefighting is a dangerous occupation that can lead to injuries that could make you unable to continue to work in that field.
