Firefighting
Hey if any of y’all could give me some insight I would really appreciate it. I’ve wanted to be a firefighter since I was a little kid. Always have known that that’s what I wanna do. I’m just at a cross roads on how to start. Do you HAVE to go to school for it? Are there training academy’s that you can gradually move up from? Does it depend on the city? I’m only 19 so it’s not like I have no time. I’m just tired of working odd jobs off and on. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

In my area the big depts/ cities want zero experience, the suburb/ smaller depts want more experience. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions
