@@mizondez53 Fire academy was great! Hard, fun, exhausting and a lot of new skills learned. Seems like the hardest thing now is getting hired with a career department.

At South Metro, Firefighters work a 48/96 shift schedule which means every weekend is 4-days long. Because of that, many personnel have second careers they enjoy, welding could be one of those!

ON WISCONSIN👍

80%? Try 97%... lol

I was gunna say 98%😂 and 85 % dont need to acually call

@@moshpitjunkie8122 I dont think I've ever had a medical call that didn't need us, I've been only doing fire since june but still, its suprising.

@@thatambulancedriver well that's why. There will be plenty dont worry. It will make u appreciate the ones who really need you. Goodluck on your career!!!

@@moshpitjunkie8122 oh trust me, I know there will be, my dads been doing fire for 25 years, and has been doing ems for 7 years I believe, plus the countless amount of members in my immediate family.

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO thanks for the insight!!

it’s very physically demanding, proper training prior to going into the academy is highly recommend.

johnnydarter right now

Gabriel Tobing those firefighters are awesome

That's different around here you go thru fire 1 and 2 then 2 weeks training depending were your assignment is. Plus what ever training you get down the line if you go special opperations

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thanks for the reply! How long are the training days?

Teamwork, an all-in attitude and good listening are definitely excellent skills that will help recruit firefighter be successful.

Hey, awesome news! Is that still what you want to do? Seeing how you said 2 years, 1 year ago; I want to give you some tips on standing out the MOST! Become EMT certified. It's about a 4 month long course. Once you pass, you'll have to take a physical exam where you do what you learned on dummies. Once you pass that, you have to take a national exam known as the NREMT! Once you pass that, you're a certified EMT. Secondly, get into volunteer work/go to a junior fire service department. Third, if you decide to pursue college, DO NOT do fire science despite the fact that it's called fire science. Yes, it helps. However, get your degree in something medical like nursing. Finally, maybe join the National Guard, Reserves, or Active Duty military. You'll get hired QUICK! I wanted to be a cop for the longest time. I got my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice, and my Master's in Criminal Psychology. I did countless jobs in security and countless internships with State and local police departments. To go one step further, I joined the Army (Active Duty) at 25. As time went on whilst in the Army, I started to lose my love for wanting to be a cop. I no longer had the drive to do it. Why? I don't know. Maybe because the Army put a sour taste in my mouth about it. I never take anything to heart and never let anything get under my skin. However, being in the Army, people seeing my military style haircut, seeing me off post in uniform when I went to get lunch, having to pick something up for the wife immediately after work, etc - I was tired of being called all of these names when all I'm trying to do is serve my country. Needless to say, the police is the same way. It's one of the most thankless jobs out there. Now, I'm not saying I want to be thanked or anything of the sort. What I'm saying is I don't want to serve a community that hates my guts despite me trying to do nothing but help them. So I figured I'd do the next best thing - FIREFIGHTING! I wound up getting out of the Army and became EMT certified. I was a volunteer firefighter back in college. With my degrees, volunteering as a firefighter, military, already being EMT certified; the second I took that test, I started getting calls 11 days later. Interviewed, took the physical, took the agility test, interviewed with the chief, did the background, the psych test, etc... Got hired within 3 weeks from the day I got the call. Good luck, I've rambled on enough.

@@koby685 check out my comment above this one, man!

@@DapperSapper515 you sir have won at life

Did you make your dream come true?

No.

Ask the next firefighter u see in uniform. They'd be happy you asked :]

Don't rush. You have time. Get some kind of certificate or degree in fire science, and then get an EMT cert. Do community service. Learn some good skills (communication skills, technical skills). If you can, work as an EMT for a while and then go to paramedic school. You can also go to an independent FF1 academy. If you do all these things, you will a prime candidate for almost every department in the nation. If you can test and interview well, you can get hired at departments that make you go through their own academies if you dont have a FF1 and paramedic, but it will be more competitive.

Crab - enlist in the military.

They're earplugs

Thank you
