Rich, It will be easier to get on a larger metropolitan department. Some of the larger departments may have their own fire academy or send you to to get trained. Start looking for for department that are giving tests. That will give you experience taking civil service tests even if it's for a department you don't want to work for. I don't know what the scedule is for departments in that part of the country, but I work 24 on and 48 off. I also get a "Kelly day", which means every 3 weeks I have 5 days in a row off, not to mention vacation days and the ability to trade shifts for time or cash compensation. Plenty of time for a second or third job. (Just wait till you find out how much a wife can spend) It can be a great career and also allow you to do a lot of things you want to and provide a good living. Start young, many departments have only a 25 year requirement to be able to be elgible to retire. Good luck!
