I understand units have already gone through rounds of hiring for this year but I am still hoping to get on an engine or hand crew. What are the best times to call stations to set up appointments? Will I be able to workout/train with the crews or is it mostly just speaking with the captains and firefighters on duty? Most common questions, appropriate dress attire, food/drinks to bring and other tips are much appreciated, thank you!
