Yes, you can! I would start by being a fire volunteer and then take training classes provided through your local community.
You need a high school diploma or general education degree (also known as a GED) in order to complete EMT training. If you do not have the required educational training, you cannot complete EMT training.
A high school diploma is usually required to enter a formal emergency medical technician training program. Training is offered at progressive levels: EMT-Basic, EMT-Intermediate, and EMT-Paramedic.
Delaware County Community College in your area offers EMT training. Visit http://www.dccc.edu.

The Malcolm X College is located in Chicago, IL and carries it's own EMT training as well as EMT-B refresher training. The refresher training is 24 hours long.
The first step to becoming a paramedic is to receive a high school diploma or GED. CPR Training, EMT Basic Training, and specific paramedic training are required. After all elements have been completed, a EMT certification must be obtained by taking a test.
Check with the local school that provide emt training, like the community college.
Yes you can have some paramedic training at EMT (Emergency medical technician). At EMT you can take the practical training so you will become an expert. The experience you will own help you after studies to your future work.
This differs from State-to-State, but becoming an EMT-Basic usually requires a high-school diploma and 120-150 hours of training. To be fully certified as an EMT-Basic (also known as EMT-1, EMT, etc.) you need to have completed those things, and passed a state-given or national test (NREMT test).
That is up to you. Myself I went to college received my paramedic along with fire cert right when I graduated high school. Although there are a lot of Paramedics that did start out as a EMT-B or EMT-I before moving on further. If you are unsure if you will like the career then I would suggest that you get your EMT-B or see if you can do a couple of ride alongs to see if you would even like the career.
You can attend either vocational or technical to become an EMT. The necessary training can be obtained in as little as 3 weeks. College is not required.
No classes have to be taken in High School to be an EMT but once you are old enough to become a volunteer or member of a local Fire and Rescue Company you have to take EMT/EMS Academy courses to be a cleared professional.
