Join a volunteer company in Delaware...they will pay for you to get HAZMAT and your EMT refresher through Delaware State Fire School in Dover. Each company keeps a sign up sheet posted in the firehouse with signups for different classes. You may find other classes your interested in also...my company is just down the road from Lewes....between Ellendale and Milton....we are Slaughter Beach. My dad is also a dispatcher for Sussex County 911....if you have any other questions just write back to me on my page.

Also have to add that Delaware has a program for wildfires where you take a course and a pack test and they send you out West to wildfires 14 days at a time...you earn about $1200 bucks a tour.....you can take as many tours as you want....you dont have to be a member of a fire co to take the class either.....the next class will be held in January.
