In Ca. Go to EMT School, get some ambulance experience, get an AA degree in fire science, put yourself through an accredited fire academy, work for Cal-Fire or Forest Service, go to Paramedic School, you can write your ticket to any Department you’d like to work for! Work hard, put in the time and effort to get hired, good luck!

Question how many hours per day it is and what type of workouts do we need to do?

U.S. Coast Guard (0.02% of Americans who hold this tittle), Master's Degree (Wasn't that important for ADVANCED careers, like the ones that develop, create, and manufacture the tools and equipment Emergency Services utilize?) Gov't: "What else ya got?"

My husband was on our local fire. Department, after a couple years, he decided to walk away because everything that he had seen and experience took an emotional toll on him, especially when it came to children. Now he's talking about wanting to get back into it and I'm. Extremely against it because if something were to happen to him. That will change my life. And I've noticed spouses of law enforcement firefighting military. They always say oh, you need. Anything will be there, but when they reach out because they're struggling with bills or medical or this that the third no 1's to be found. Are they get told sorry we can't do anything. You guys talk and act like it's a family this that the third, but in reality it's not. And that's exactly what I told my husband i'm not Okay, with him taking a job. Where he can be fatally injured.

Here's my problem. I passed cpat, I passed civil service test with a 91%, I am an emt and voluntary firefighter, I wore a suit to the panel interview and did a great job. I was told the department was only hiring 3 people out of the 5 that were being interviewed. I never got a call back even after calling to ask about my application status. One of the guys that was hired instead can't even drive since he's on sr22 insurance BUT his dad is the chief of police. The other guy that got hired is a pot head from a local factory BUT his uncle works on the department. The third guy deserved to get the job but I clearly got pushed aside for some serious bs.

You need training and qualified staff to direct you. You need to know CPR with advanced training. You need dedication and protection for yourself. Be glad you have what it takes, because, others don't.

That guy in the Taco Bell commercial

I do powerlifting, so of course I hate cardio more than a morning alarm, the step test looks like a torture tactic

I'm 53 and just finished fire academy... It's never too late, unless you live somewhere where you cannot get a new position after a certain age...

New dawn for VFD. Great new Chief. Lots of experience and good leadership kills.

Who asks for this?

Very nice video

How can I apply for the test and work

There’s one born every minute my sister makes 350,000 a month she’s in charge of her future not some city politician

LAFD has lowered the bar so much because of quotas and politics that if you have two legs and two arms your in

Love this❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍

I started off wanting to become a firefighter but the thought of starting a family has deterred me along the way... Thank you for this video.

Thanks for the video, my test is next week. I am the least qualified as far as experience is concerned but I am putting in my best effort. I am the old guy out there and plan on showing these boys what I can do.

I think it's good they do a practice CPAT test for women, because 90% of women who think they can do the job, actually can't do the job..The test will give them just a taste of how physically demanding the job is. Having said that, I've worked with many female firefighters who were in shape, were great firefighters, and put the work in to do the job.

Shoutout to EMS paramedic and emts that don’t get the credit since sometimes they deserve more !

Shout out to my guys they live across from where I live and they always have my 2 year old exited by the trucks

This is like a young cadet program? Or this is the actual fire academy recruits? just wondering because I didn’t see anyone head shaved (like LAPD recruits do). Does LAFD not make you shave your head like LAPD or the marines do?

I’m making my way through the process of becoming a firefighter. As a women, this is incredibly helpful to see. 🙏🏼🔥

Please reply 🙏

Sir I became a fire fighter I am from India

What a great, inspiring interview. I mean them are some beautiful strong women up there I hope my daughter grows up one and become something of that nature. For the ladies that have the kids I didn’t hear anything about a father being involved but I applaud them for not making any excuses. I am a father that’s pursuing a career in fire and I no longer am with my child’s mother’s. The sense of not being there sucks but I do my best to be present when I am there. Once I’m able to sign that contract I know it’ll change my life and my kids and it will definitely be worth the struggle!
