Ok, you want to be a FF. This website is a great start. Get your education...Paramedic school is the fastest route in but don't stop there. Get a B.S. or B.A. in something that is transferable to other careers. Start looking for local volunteer fire departments and take every FF test you qualify for. At first there wil be only a few...as you get more education and certifications there will be tons.

Good Luck
