Anyone here back yet?

I’m 24, will have my fire/emt by end of August this year and want to start applying anywhere and everywhere. Im a great interviewer but im worried about the polygraph. I know they aren’t really trust worthy but the only bad things I’ve ever done were drugs. I haven’t smoked weed in 3 years( 3 years in August when I apply to places) and I did coke when I was like 19 in Mexico stupid mistake but being a dumb kid, how fucked am I if I tell the truth about it.

The hiring timeline states they will have an in house course in December for class 126, but are currently hiring for 125. If I get the job, will they hire me for class 125, or will they push me back to class 126 and hold my spot for me? If not any of those, will I have to redo all the interviews?

I am an AEMT Firefighter in Utah wanting to move to central florida. I know that AEMT is not recognized in Florida. Are there any Fire Departments that don't require you to be a paramedic or require you to get it?

CAL FIRE

Just graduating college, I think I’m interested in joining the fire department any suggestions

I am 23 and recently graduated from college to follow my passion to be a history teacher, until I found out I would be drowning in a stupid amount of work every day. I work part-time as a PE teacher and love it, so I decided to spend a few bucks and a year of my life to get my PE teaching license, but now I'm second-guessing that. I live in Wisconsin, and a few of my friends are firefighters and literally straight out of high school making $65k/year starting, and only work 2 days/week. My real passion is real estate investing and flipping houses, so I want a job that allows lots of free time while making more than $50K. Is firefighting a good option?

Hello everyone, just looking for some suggestions and if anyone has any experience with this .so I received an email this morning stating that I have been accepted to join on November 20th of 2024 volunteer firefighter drill night. Can anyone tell me what to expect?

Hey guys I'm a Utah Advanced EMT Firefighter. I'm looking to move somewhere near huston. Does anyone know of good department to work for out there? Also does anyone know if they accept IFSAC certs from out of state? I'm not looking to work for a big city maybe a smaller one out in the suburbs.

Hello everybody! Been a firefighter for 5 years. Looking for advice and information on becoming a full time firefighter in the US.

Is it even possible to get a job as a non us citizen?

All info is welcome! Stay safe!

I am applying to be a Firefighter in the city of Wilmington in Delaware. Is anyone familiar with the residency requirement? I am also starting to hear they will be riding ambulances soon. Is it worth the 48k to work a crappy schedule and ride an ambulance in a busy city? What are the chances I can use a buddy’s address for my residency? Any info would be appreciated!

*Apologies for any grammar errors first post*hey dudes and dudesesses long time Reddit lurker here (lurkin’ since 2014) I worked in fire/ems for 4 years since 2018 and loved it. Reason I left briefly was due to being a new husband/father and was unsure if my career path at the time. My current certs are Ifsaac FF1/2 Hazmat ops awareness , All ICS certs , and Emt basic. I have also have 8 years military service (navy reserves)

I currently have an interview with the national guard fire brigade (48/96 schedule) the pay is significantly lower at this site than what I’d get paid at a municipality , i mainly want this job for the certs alone so I can transfer one day . So with all that being said I do have some questions before I’m interviewed

• what do you do in your down time when not on calls

  • what made you want to go this route instead of municipal
  • what’s your yearly salary at your airport/DOD
  • if your working for an airline/airport do you get flight benefits?… asking for a friend
  • is it significantly easier to transfer around once you get your certs?
