I'm hoping to start my firefighting path and I was wondering what you think the best direction is to go? would you suggest firefighting college? maybe becoming a paramedic before hand? or a certain course at a college? just looking for some opinions.

Asked by Chelsea over 9 years ago

Volunteer and get your paramedic and you will have a extra thing going for you. Paramedic is a must for many departments.
