Hey bud! I’m looking to join as well but unfortunately they aren’t recruiting at the moment. Are you in the same boat as me?

[@mememachine3279]

Wise Fool yeah, I’m just trying to figure out how to ace all the tests since it seems pretty selective

[@WiseFoolTrades]

Meme Machine join the volunteer fire cadet program bro, doing so will really help you when it comes to applying for the firefighter role. I’m gonna do the same as well.

[@mememachine3279]

Wise Fool that seems like a great idea, thanks 🙏

[@WiseFoolTrades]

Meme Machine no problem mate, hopefully we will see each other wearing a fireman uniform soon 🤞
