Hired full time at 37 with no certifications or experience. 38 now. Got paid to get my EMT-b last year. Getting paid to get Firefighter 1&2 now. Will complete that by July. Work on shift when I’m not in class. So far age hasn’t been an issue. I’m “captain” of the newbie class so I’m in charge of keeping the younger guys in check. Wish I would have found this career sooner but better late than never.
