You can enroll in community college. They should have a program there. I know my local CC does. Chabot Community College in Hayward. |

Speak to your Guidance Counselor at school first and let them know. Most Fire stations have an "explorer" type program for high school students. Stop by your local Fire station and speak to them about that.
When you get out of High School, you will want to start Fire Science classes in college. This will also help your prepare for a career in the F.D.
And as a last resort, you can also do Military service. Each branch has a Fire Fighting department and job in it. Don't know how rare they are, but my brother actually got a job as a Fire fighter in the U.S. Army. He now works for the Las Vegas Fire Department.
Good luck. first two stops I would suggest are your guidance counselor (if your in high school. Don't know if they have these in Jr. High), and then would be to your local Fire Station to learn about their Explorer program. |

Contact your local fire dept. Most have Junior Fire Fighter programs where kids begin to learn the basics, and gradually get to train. It gives them some experience because they get to hang out with fire fighters and learn from them, plus assist in non-emergencies like parades, etc |

your best bet is to become a firefighter explorer as a teen.. then take some courses in college while applying to become one.
contact your local FD and ask them about the explorer program |

You have to call your local fire brigade headquarters to find out when they are recruiting. They will send you an application form and the rest is up to you. Better start physical training as soon as you can as the tests are quite demanding. |

They have fire-fighter academies where you can be trained for a career as a fire fighter; its pretty common. You should be able to find one in your area by searching online. |

The fire department in your area will post the training info on your cities website. Or just call them and find out when the are testing and training.. My city is doing that right now. Most of the time they only train every couple years. |

There are special schools that you'll need to attend. You have to become a certified EMT as well. Go to this website, it may answer a lot of your questions. http://www.fireprep.com/how_to_become_a_firefighter.html |
