My dad has been a firefighter for 25+ years. My brother is considering going to fire college except that he's a hopeless fuckup who hasn't been able to finish a college quarter for like three years.
Yea, my dad was a fire fighter for about 20 years before going back to school to be a Physician's Assistant (hence why I am now in Kansas instead of back in Illinois). And my Uncle is a fire fighter back home, and is one of the leading instructors in Illinois for Bioterrorism and haz-mat.
I guess I love the life around the fire house, growing up in the fire house and everything. Staying the night at the station and running calls. I loved all that

My buddy who works valet with me has been trying to get into the Phoenix fire department for a LONG time now, like 3+ years. Right now he's working almost exclusively as an EMT since he wants more experience with that type of stuff.
Good luck man, it's a cool thing to do.
Yea, I really enjoy the EMT stuff also. I may also finish up all that when I am done w/ my fire science. I know a lot of fire departments are starting to lean towards having fire fighter/paramedics.
Thanks for the good luck though :D
