Hey Steve,

Where do you call home? Different states have different requirements for becoming a Firefighter. Tell us a little more and maybe I can help you out.

Thanks,

Ray

Steve,
first of all,i think it is great that you want a career in firefighting,it is a very good career.what kind,if any, fire service training do you have now,fire fighting is not for everyone but when it gets into your blood,you are hooked for life.all you need to get in the door is high school and a desire to help people
