No. It is beyond what a company can require a worker to do. They might fire you or you quit, but their actions would not prevent you from being eligible for unemployment benefits.
In Texas, a convicted felon may be eligible to join a volunteer fire department, but this can depend on the nature of the felony conviction and the policies of the specific fire department. Some departments may have restrictions based on the type of conviction, while others may consider the individual's rehabilitation and time since the conviction. It's important for the individual to check with the local fire department for their specific eligibility requirements.

Court records are public records in the United States. Whether or not an employer will check those records is another story. An employer can find out about a conviction. Whether or not an employer will find out about a conviction is a different issue. The fact that following your conviction you were held under house arrest is irrelevant. The nature of the punishment is irrelevant. The fact that you were convicted is the relevant issue. Was there a deal made that would get the conviction removed from your record? Was that part of any agreement? It is illegal for an employer to fire you in the United States because you were arrested. It is legal for an employer to fire you in the United States because you were convicted. Is the conviction on your record?
unless you work for a local,state or federal agency they must show some kind of nexus between job and offense. Yes, if it could cause an image problem for the company, then they have grounds to fire you. Heck, they can fire you if they don't like your personality, you can get fired for just about anything. This might have been a reason to get rid of you.
It depends on several things: Criminal history of spouse Nature of the felony Age upon conviction State where the felon is residing Circumstances of adjudication/conviction Conditions of parole/probation Etc. Not enough info to answer the question.

Questioner does not give his state of residence. All firefighters must be certified by some kind of state body established for certifying emergency service personnel. Such a record may disqualify you in one jurisdiction but perhaps not in another. ALSO - since Volunteer Fire Companies are usually independent entities, some volunteer departments may choose to not hire someone with a criminal record. Suggest you contact the VFD you are interested in or your state certifying agency and simply ask.
