Joining Houston FD

Hey what’s up yall,

My name is Dylan, and I’m 19 and from Houston. I’m currently in EMT school so I can skip the CSE.

I want a career where I can actually serve my city and be part of a cool group of guys. For those of you in Houston, or someplace similar (mix of industry and suburbs), what are some things you wish you knew before applying?

Also, if anyone local would be willing to grab coffee on your day off or letting me stop by the station sometime and telling me about the good, the bad, and the ugly, that’d be really cool.

I just need some advice on how to get started and on what the job actually entails. At my age it’s real easy to romanticize the job without knowing what youre getting into.

Thank y’all!
