How to become a Firefighter
Hello! I have recently become aware of the option of becoming a Firefighter after going to a Carnival, seeing that my local volunteer fire department was in look for volunteers, so I applied and got accepted, and now I'm thinking I could do this for real. I don't really care about a salary or such but look, Heavy lifting? Helping people? Power tools? I mean it fits my dream job as far as I'm concerned (Saying it like that in a humurous way) But I am not from the States and I moved to NY recently with my student VISA and I was wondering if there's anything I need to study, or do. Anything to become a proper firefighter, because apart from the volunteering I have no idea what to do, I'm about to turn 21 too, so I just really need some guidance and I was checking the guidelines to see if there was FAQ but it seemed like it was not working. I have plenty of experience in multiple fields such as in Engineering, Assisted living, Child counseling and more but I doubt any of that would help.
Just, please could anyone guide me? I have never set my goal this badly on something and I have no clue where to start, please PLEASE
