Those depts are very competitive. Getting a degree helps. But since they are civil service guys have gone years to get hired. I suggest that you get your EMT cert but also spread your wings by also llooking out of state. The south tends to be more fruifull on availibility of ff jobs.

Share Answer: 
in your case being an EMT puts you ahead of many. I would advise you to joun a volunteer fire dept to determine if it is your ball of wax. As for fitness being in shape makes it easier and if you dont feel that you are than do something about it.

Unfortunately with economics being such you may have to do that but I feel that a community should put public safery first in staffing depts. i am not in favor of either of these because teenagers tend to lack that maturity of being able to do both activities. But as said it is dependent on the communities needs.
