I've got FF1, FF2, and HAZMAT Ops as well.

In my opinion, there are FAR better and more useful courses to take before FF2, whether they are ProBoard/Nat'l Certs or not.  EVOC and Pump Ops are absolutely necessary and any decent firefighter should be taking those. Ropes and extrication courses are also highly valuable.

FF2 focuses a lot on more officer-ish tasks and a lot on foam.  I'm not saying it isn't useful, but I'd take other courses before this.

Hope this helps!
