Just wondering if you guys have any pointers to help get through school and just anything that a newbie would find helpul. i have been down to my local volunteer dept. and they are real cool and are going to give me all my gear to get through fire school, im going to try and volunteer for them asap. Any advice would be great! Thanks.

Take as many fire related classes that you can down there. Be very attentive in the EMS classes. I personally know at least three people that went there and had to retake medic school. They were not prepared for the National Registry test when they got out of the program.
