Many times you can, although the fire is usually sealed off by police officers to prevent injuries to the public. Some jurisdictions have outlawed portable police and fire radio scanners in private vehicles, so you cannot "cruise" for fires. This is a public safety issue when too many unnecessary people attempt to converge while emergency apparatus is also on the way.

It is generally not a good idea to approach a burning fire closely without any equipment or experience. Even with the proper training and equipment its not easy to stay safe in the vicinity of fire.

On the other hand, many people enjoy observing the excitement of fire, rescue and extinguishing it. As long as you are not in the way or putting anyone in danger, it may be acceptable to attend from a respectable distance.

Where can you learn to become a firefighter in Florida?

www.floridastatefirecollege.org Theres alot of info on that site. That's where i went to become a Firefighter. The Florida State Fire College is the best fire school in the state( hence the Florida State Fire College name :D ) . Theres many other places to go alot of them only teach you to be a firefighter 1 though. Which is only good enough for a volunteer firefighter. You need to be a Firefighter 2 if you want to be a career firefighter. Go to your local fire station. Im sure theres a few guys who went to local Fire Schools and they had to have been in Florida since Florida does not accept other state fire certifications. You will also need to be an EMT. Being a Paramedic wouldn't hurt you in the least. You'll get picked over anybody for a job if your a paramedic.
