Currently serving Jasper County Fire Rescue in south Carolina along with Charleston County EMS.
I am slightly confused. What job are you doing when you apparently are standing next to a burn barrel
Were pretty flexible as long as it is good. I am not going to lie but there has been a time or 2 that we accepted it but later go rid of it.
No you can be both. There are approx 1.5 million career firefighters with the remainder being volunteer. Jobs in the south tend to be easier to obtain for some reason , of course you need to make yourself marketable by obtaining a degree, get certified as an EMT.
No, believe it or not they sell them at the FDNY store in New York not to far from Time Square.

Magnesium fires and petroleum fires we do use water. petroleum we use water with foam to prevent spreading the burning fuel. Magnesium fires become explosive with the application of water.
Volunteer and get your paramedic and you will have a extra thing going for you. Paramedic is a must for many departments.
My family didn't really know what was entailed. I really wanted to go into law enforcement but my wife asked me to be a firefighter instead, she felt it was safer. That was 26 years ago and I am still doing it. My family ended up being proud of my career choice.
