I am starting at the coral springs fire academy next month and quite a few people have gotten a fire dept to loan them bunker gear and some even have a job waiting for them when they graduate. How can I go about accomplishing the same thing?
Not to sound like a wisea$$ here, but have you asked any of them how they did it? Make the rounds to the F.D's in your area and inquire about borrowing gear and whether or not they've got any openings. Are these volunteer or paid F.D's?
