I’m a retired Firefighter, there really isn’t a quick. You have to go to a fire college, or academy & go through rigorous training along with academic book work & written tests. If you pass the qualifications you obtain a certificate of compliance. Depending on where you want to work, you will have to fill out an application to apply for a vacancy in that dept. It takes time, but don’t give up you can do it

I totally agree with Paul M. I think of the parable of the man & the moth. A man comes across a moth trying to come out of his cocoon. The moth was frantically beating his wings trying to get out. The man wanted to help the moth so he took some scissor and cut open the cocoon. The moths wings were not strong enough so he could only walk around and he eventually died. Sometimes we have to wait until our wings are strong enough. You will make a great firefighter when you are ready. Don’t rush it. Good Work to you.

government jobs are the only ones that pay a decent wage these days. So do it. But you will need to live in a decent size city, because tiny towns pay them low, or even nothing. But larger city firefighters get paid very well. The only problem you might face is racist affirmative action, which favors unqualified minorities. But if you’re a minority, then you have even more in your favor, unfortunately.
