or Can someone shed some light about how fire academies work? So.... you complete a state accredited academy, then you work for a year as a volunteer to get a completion certificate which by then allows you to apply to a lot of different fire departments?

well that is the simple explanation. There are departments that will hire you w/o academy. Usually the larger such as Long Beach. La City, LA County etc, However most departments now require that you have a fire academy and a current EMT cert.
