Our department is volunteer. They generally are always looking for help. It's a huge commitment for not much compensation, especially the first two to three years.

3 months of MFR classes three nights a week

After that is Fire Academy that's 6 months and 2-3 nights a week

Then 6 months of EMT school that's 2-3 nights a week

That's not including the two nights a month that they all meet for regular meetings on top of that.


Thankfully the department made a exception for my wife. They hired her for medical callsonly so she won't be going to fire academy. And because she's a nurse they got her into a online EMT program so she can take the classes from home.

But if I get hired on I'll be having to go through all that.

I'm going back to my local VFD after the first of the year. They're fairly short handed but those that are there are good people. Chief is also the county office of emergency management director. He knows his stuff. I've been out of it for 8 years now, going back just seems the right thing to do. Plus I'll be eligible to purchase blue label Glocks [emoji3]
