You must first get into a training academy, then you must take classes, and take tests for different departments, it is a long hard process. Its struggling at times, but it is worth every penny, bit of time, and hard work let me tell you, and what ever you do, DO NOT GIVE UP!!! It is the GREATEST JOB IN THE WORLD!
You really have to check with your local fire station for their requirements to join. Many departments are different, there isn't just one standard.Some volunteer departments don't even require that you goto a college or academy. You fill out the paperwork, get voted on by the fire department members, and begin your basic fire training.I'll use my department as an example. I filled out the application. Had to wait a couple weeks for the departments monthly business meeting where my application was discussed. When I was accepted we started a basic/mandatory training to learn the basics of firefighting. This was about a two days a week process for almost two months. Then I took a state mandated test, passed, and was officially a state recognized firefighter. I then took a Firefighter I/II class which allowed me to enter buildings by our state laws and had a more vigorous outlook on firefighting. After that I took First Responder courses to respond to medical calls. Now I'm looking to take EMT classes and Fire Officer and Fire Instructor classes.All of this training so far has been paid for by my department, and all of it will benefit me if I was to join a bigger paid department.So really, just check with your local department and find out. Good luck to you!
