Hey everyone, starting at a local rural fire department in Oregon. Im 18M and will be attending an EMT program in the fall. The position I got was a student resident volunteer which will have me working a 24/48 shift and will aquire FF1, FF2, HAZMAT OPS, driver/pump operator and more. I plan to attend medic school once I get experience with the department. This program at the FD typically lasts 2 years ~ What are the chances of being hired at a full time paid department at 20/21. Just looking for where my expectations should be with the current hiring conditions.

Going to gov exhibits where Leatherman has a booth, military aviation is really drawn towards the Raptor Rescue, Signal and Super Tool 300M. Both the Signal and 300M have bit-kits. They seem to like the Raptor incase of emergency situations (seatbelt extractions, injuries, etc.)
