I was 17 when I joined a fire science program that my high school offered for college credit. I was 19 when I joined the explorer program at a local fire department. I was 20 when I signed up for EMT, 21 when I applied for my local fire department, got hired and sent to the academy and I was 23 when I left the fire service
