I have been trying and failing to get into the F.D. for almost four years.... I’ve worked my butt off to train for the CPAT and refused to give up. Your videos have inspired and educated me as to what to expect and that it’s not easy, but completely worth it. I’m happy to say I got a phone call this morning from the chief scheduling my panel interview :) thank you for the videos. It’s truly helped.

Thank you for the tips! I am getting my Associates degree right now in Fire and Rescue. I have about a year left and this video really got me thinking. I know why I want to be a firefighter, but how to put it in words! Thanks for getting me thinking! I love this field of work and I love helping those in my community! Thanks again!
I am a volunteer Firefighter, and I really want to thank all the heroes in the world that have taken on this challenge. It is a tough job and I can handle is but its not easy.
Easy, I want a job/career that makes me feel like I'm doing something meaningful in life. Now is there anything more meaningful than saving others lives, homes, and family?

Depending on where you live, the classes may vary but you want to focus on meeting the minimum requirements of local fire departments. Here in San Diego County, being an EMT is the first step. Since you're 17, you may be able to join an Explorer program to get some great foundation experience. Check in with your local departments and see if they have one. Good luck!
This really is the hardest question. When i was asked in academy, I knew I wanted to be one for the simple reasons of helping people, but there are so many other factors that go along with it. AND when you answer this question, there is always another question of "why" and if you arent prepared to answer it, you will make yourself look real dumb real fast.
as a firefighter, i can tell you that the job IS dangerous, there are many hazards, especially for search and rescue, MMK clearly has no idea what hes talking about, dont listen to him, hes just a roofer...... is every call i respond to life threatening? maybe not, but it could be, you never know, theres a reason we are called, and its NOT because the situation is now a safe environment, we make it safe AFTER dealing with the dangers.

i wanted to be a firefighter because my little brother died in a building fire in 1997. in 2011 i became a fireifghter to drive my need to remember my baby brother
Applying? I think I'm quite a ways from actually applying to a fire station. I haven't taken any classes that are required and I still need to be bigger and stronger and get my endurance up and all that stuff. Right?
I think you should go to your local Fire Department and ask them for application. You will have to take written test, physical test and oral interview about why you want to become firefighter.
if none of the fire departments near me have an explorers program, do you know of anything, or anyway i can be involved, and get experience when i'm 15 years old? thank you, the videos teach me alot.
If i have no experience as far Firefighting. What would be you advise to answering the question "describe you background and experience as related to the job?"
Remember when you did it for the camaraderie, going to fires and kicking butt, getting the job done and helping out where you could, making things work with what you had. Working together as a team. The joking, laughing and scratching? And believe it or not, feeling good doing it for others you did not know. It was something you didn't have to "think about" or read a hand-out at a job fair to decide. You had a thick skin because you had to live with different personalities and you didn't cry because someon offended you at the station. Remember? Now it's about your space, pay, time off, being some bad-ass, having the most arrogant attitude. Being firefighter used to mean humility. At least that's how I remembered it 20 years ago.
The job is safe, if you follow the rules and keep up with the skills. But otherwise, it is one of the "potentially" most dangerous jobs out there among "first-world" countries I'd imagine. The smoke in houses is becoming more and more toxic as we use more plastics and polyurethane upholstery. Some of the gases produced can kill you in a few breaths. Also buildings are being constructed lighter, which means often they collapse much sooner. It is a safeish job. If you know what your doing.
I'm 17 years old, ive wanted to become a firefighter ever since my grandpa died 7 years ago, what can I do to get ready? What classes should I take when I go to college?
im thinking about joining the air force for linguist but the contract is 6yrs right now i feel that when the contract is up I'll be about 30yrs old then i'll still wanna go back and get my paramedic right now im taking emt class, 6yrs is a long time i've already but in some effort and wanna go through with it
I put in an application for my local volunteer FD, and at the council meeting (basically old guys and chiefs) they asked me this. Didn't have a clue what to say... it was kinda funny. I didn't get in, but I'm trying again in september and hopefully I can string something together.
i know there are alot of people that want to be firefighters now. im 15 and what do i have to do to make sure i can get a job as a firefighter when im older?
Thanks for the Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Rozardner Lucky Interview Reality (do a google search)? It is a great exclusive product for firefighter interview tips minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin at last got great success with it.
why do I wanna be a firefighter? to save people life, even if the paramedic comes, can they help the person that is trapped at a house, and there are all fire around it? so firefighter job is to save people, the paramedic live is to save people for the second part, if there are no first part, can the people be saved? and I've dream to become a firefighter when I was a kid! my mother said that I cant never be a firefighter, because she said firefighter is no use, the doctor is more useful, so I said to her, firefighter save the live first, they put down the fire, they saved people that was trapped. so for short, I just wanna see people lives, and save people, and for one last thing, I hate it when people call me hero, because im not spiderman, im not Captain America, WE ARE FIREFIGHTERS! WE SAVE LIFE!!
and for the paramedics out there, I know your job is really important and its cool, but I just don't stand how paramedics make surgery, I would be sured to puked, and good luck for paramedics out there! make sure you do your second part correctly!
Creeper Pies 90% of firefighters are emts. So they get the people out and if an ambulance isn’t there already they start working to make sure the person is ok.
For me to be a firefighter is more interesting than my current college and class, I studying environment engineering(BS), but at least for me it's better to help people directly and in critical situations which need some especial passion. Plus I have been always choosing to be volunteer to do jobs, some college mates laughing at me cause it seems to be such a freaky decisions to leave the college and go for training and..., but I do cause I think it's right BJ.
Lol anything would be more interesting than a college class . If you like helping others why dont you get a job in a charity shop maybe > it might be a little more dangerous than firefighting but i feel you would get more satisfaction from it .
Im an Environmental Science major and I have the same philosophy as you. Sure when im done with college i can probably get a decent computer/pencil pushing job with an environmental firm, but i want to do something that directly influences people. Firefighting seems engaging, challenging, and rewarding and thats what really makes my time feel worth while.
HOW CAN I BECOME A FIREFIGHTER? I am willing to do whatever it takes. What are the steps? Im already into being fit/ working out. Is it bad that Im a small guy? Im 22 years old and 115-125 pounds.
The reason I want to become a firefighter is because when I was 7 years old I lit my mom apartment on fire and my sister and I got out safe, but when I say the men and women run it the building l thought they were super hero's and that when I knew that I wanted to be just like them and save live and hopefully property.
When taking the fire science associates degree or bachelor's degree does it make a difference if you take it online, community college, or a traditional university? Could this effect the hiring process?
I want to be a firefighter because I always wanted to save peoples lives I also always grew up with my parents and and grandparents and great -grandparents growing up around fires.
How do I got about becoming a firefighter? I'm currently an auto technician, have for the past 5 and a half years . I'm 25 . But this is something I've thought about. Just don't know how or where to start. Do I need college ? Because at this moment I only have my high school diploma
im on same boat as you besides the tech part, i didnt know much as well but what i did was just walk into a fire deparment and ask how can you appkly, to get ahead of the gun find and emt class and take it. and go to your city hall and fire deparments and TALK!!!!
Is it really THAT difficult to become a career firefighter at a fire hall? I've been entertaining the idea of becoming a firefighter for a while, and I've already given up many other dreams of mine. Becoming a firefighter is the first realistic/practical career I've though about. But I keep hearing it's very difficult to get employment. I'm just sick and tired of being told that I can't do anything I'm interested in in my life... One thing I thought about... the baby boomers are retiring and/or dying out, so i'm sure there will be a lot more job positions opening up in the next 5-10 years, not to mention there are a lot more people taking on trades these days, on top of that I have both Canadian and American citizenship, so I certainly have more options than the average person. I really want to go for it and was thinking about applying to a fire academy. Do people think I have a good shot, or do you think it's still going to be very hard? I don't care if it's difficult, but if it's unlikely that I'll have a career as a firefighter, i should probably put my time and money into something else... unfortunately nothing else interests me.
I went through United States Marine Corps boot camp.. That shit was rough. I wanna be a fire fighter too. I recommend firerecruit.com to look at job postings
Because I know the city and I like to work and help people, Im polite and something I grew up watching ,I can drive a fire engine I'm a team player and I care, I don't discriminate poor or rich if you In distress and we get a call to my fire department hang tight help on the way, we be there fast in a safe, professional manner ,ready to assist, im make sure no one in my crew gets hurt, we going to be good crew that's knows how to handle any situation, another thing is I have a good attitude, good work ethic, and integrity. I hope to be Chicago FD , Fairfax County VA..FD ,Fort Worth TX..FD , Philidolphia FD, Winston Salem NC.. FD, Raleigh NC FD....CFD district 1 ,South loop E1 , Peterson and Clark T47 Edgewater, 2 fire station I want to work, if Chicago lets me join and all the other cities I'll go join their fire department as well.
next time u run into a 110 story building that was just stuck by a 747 and ha 10+ floors of fire raging off of jet fuel and see the remains of jumpers and know that you have 60 pounds of gear on ur back and have to go up stairs to the 87th floor and then start putting out the fire you can talk
I would like to be a firefighter because you get to help people its not about the chicks its not about pay its about helping people. my friend got me in to it my friend joey thats at colonia nj fire department i aways wanted to be a police officer but i changed i love helping people i wanted to be at Monroe new jersey apple Garth station 57 district no.2
Well, you're probably get to help people. But if you're actually getting paid well you're probably not going to be helping that many people. The pay scale of fire departments is the inverse of what is logical. The more busy and dangerous the department, the less you get paid. If you want to actually fight fires and go on brutal medic runs you're going to have to apply somewhere like Detroit Fire. But if you want to make 120k per year you can do that. You'll just never (ever) see a working structure fire and the worst medic run you'll get is probably the rare fatal car accident. And you'll have to do a lot more busy-work around the station. I hear people who have this job absolutely hate it. But the low paying fire jobs are actually pretty cool. You're just making 35k while being shot at and will gradually die from cancer from all the smoke you inhaled during decades of actually doing the job.
Why did I "want" to become a medic?... I hate being a medic. I never wanted to do that job. The only reason I think any of us do it is because it's required of us to remain firefighters. I've never had a more brutal or thankless job in my life. Being a paramedic is the worst job I've ever had. And I've had a lot of jobs that people would consider way worse.
*IF* you can even get any sleep. Sure, we're allowed to sleep at the station (after 9 p.m.) but that's not likely to happen when you have people calling 911 every 5 minutes for tummy aches and various other abusers. It's like being tortured for a living. Imagine just starting to fall asleep at 4 a.m. and then the phone rings and you've got to rush to someone's house (lights and sirens) because they farted and want to tell a doctor about it... I'm not joking. 98% of the calls are literally this stupid. The 2% that are serious usually turn out bad because there's not any ambulances available because so many people are abusing the system. So if your grandma has a stroke or a heart attack and it takes 45 minutes for an ambulance to show up you should blame your dispatchers for sending your city medics / firefighters out to thousands of stupid calls. Believe me. You call, we come. Doesn't matter how dumb it sounds on the phone. Doesn't matter if the dispatcher *knows* it's bullshit. You're going. And there's nothing you can do about it. Sleep at work... I wish. Instead we're locked in a state of perpetual jet-lag. All for that sweet, sweet 14 bucks per hour.
Hey can you do a video for wildland firefighters? Im trying to get hired as a full time seasonal with the forest service on an engine crew. I just need help with the answers and process of an interview.
It would be hard for me to say i do it for myself; but thats the truth, i personally want to preserve human life even in great peril, because in short is part of me... However handing out this explanation in a world of machismo will get a person ridiculed, and thought of as sellfish. First responders continue their jobs due to their compassion, typically, and unlike some misguided people believe.
Want to help the community? Have you started right now? You don't need to be a FF to start today. Wanting to be a FF is way more than that. Like cleaning toilets and being ordered what to do? Getting up at night 4-5 times and being exposed to hepatitis C (no cure and contagious). Cleaning the station and cooking for 15-20 guys? Crude jokes? I you answered no to any of those, then you need to look elsewhere for a career. Just my opinion.
Hey I really want to be one I just got out of HS.. have a full time job rn really want to be a FF.. what can I do rn to be one? Go to my local firefighter department?
This is the question that I have been trying to figure out if I should answer with blunt truth. Anyone have any advise? My reason in a nutshell is I am 36, when I was 14 the gangbangers at my school put 2 guns to my head and told me basically Im white so I must die. So I said F this and never went back to school again. I let my grandfather who was a teacher die thinking that I was a punk drop out. I barely told my mom what happened 3 years ago when I decided take FF classes. Should I say this?
It would be best if you sent us an email so we know where you're from and we can send you web links to local departments... we can't do that on this platform. Info at firefightermedic
the reason i want to be a firefighter because i have a passion for firefighters i want to ride on a truck i want to put on firefighter gear when i was a kid i pretended in my back your that everything was on fire i used a hose to put it out i even thought i could put on the scuba gear at 10years i all ways watch firefighter videos on my tablet the point is I'm the only one in my family that wants to be a firefighter my dad truck driver mom nurse sister might be cook or nurse she likes making recipes so that leaves me so my final chose is firefighter that why i want to be a firefighter.
