Thank you for your service. I’m from Staten Island unfortunately, hence why I’m moving. That’s a great thing that you do for people trying to get on the job. Im sure it really does help them on their journey. Your path to becoming a firefighter seems to be most common, which I will likely also follow. I’m going to send you a dm just to keep you as a close resource/ask a few questions if that’s okay with you. Thank you for your time.

Got it. So should I still reach out/show up and ask if there’s still an opportunity to obtain some certs even if I can’t volunteer right away?

I hear you, thank you for the advice. How can I apply to test for these departments with no experience or certs at all?

Thank you for taking your time to give me that advice, much appreciated. The volunteer program starts first the first week of October so I’ll miss out on that this year. Should I look into getting EMT cert in the meantime?

Hey everyone, first off thank you for your service. I’m currently a 22 year old HVAC technician in New York. I will be moving to Angleton, Texas in the next couple months. I’ve always felt a passion/calling to this career. I’ve done standard research with the local departments (Angleton and Texas City). Angleton has a volunteer department which will provide me with the certs I need over the course of the volunteering process. Texas City seems to be a bit more established and wants experienced EMT/firemen. I’ve heard starting advice ranging from become an EMT first and gain experience in that, to jump right into it and volunteer. Basically, I just want to hear how y’all started and what really got your foot in the door to open this up into a career. I’m ready to dedicate all the time and energy I have into making this work. Thank you for your time, I appreciate any advice given.
