or Just graduated college...Want to be a firefighter more than anything. Where do I begin? Can anyone direct me to any resources that would guide me through the entire process from beginning (certifications, requirements, classes, etc.) to end (getting the job and wearing the uniform)?

SOOO where do I start?!
Start out by clicking over into the "Open Forum" section and perusing the board there. Lots of threads out there on the where-to-start issue.
Good luck,

Paul Lepore has 2 really good books to start out: Aspiring FF's 2 Year Plan, and How to Smoke Your FF Interview. You can get them on this site or Paul's website
Read the boards here, and over on firehouse.com. Come up with a timeline and a plan, and start moving on it.

use the search young jedi.
I am in the same boat as you and I have made google my best friend. Would definitely be a good thing to get your EMT...in my experience there are more departments than not that require this as a minimum.
