For the young members of this fourm considering becoming career firefighters it is worth considering military service and especially firefighting. An air force active duty firefighter would have the qualifications for these jobs. Veterans points are a part of civil service and military service will always look good on a resume. It can also help pay for college. There are plenty of former military firefighters in the career fire service. I'm sure there are some on this board that can provide further information.
