It depends on the fire department that you apply at. Some people can be hired at a fire department without any certifications at all. They can be utilized in various ways (including driving, support, and some manpower) until they complete the minimum required classes. Fire departments that hire individuals like this will often refer them to classes or even financially assist or cover them in paying for the class.
My fire department recently hired six new members. Two are fully certified. Two have only EMT-B certifications. One has only Fire certifications. One has no certifications. We are planning to utilize all of our new members to the best extent of their current skills, and we are offering them classes to expand their skillsets. Like I said, the new member with no certs will be focusing on learning to drive and maintain the trucks until she takes and passes the necessary classes.
I dont know you should ask someone who cares.

One generally needs to be a trained EMT to be a firefighter, and therefore requires a basic EMT certificate. Also, there are certificates and degrees in fire science as well as fire fighter apprenticeships. One must also endure rigorous physical training in order to become a firefighter.

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).
EMT certification is always a requirements for those who wanted to work as an emergency medical technician. If you have the certification you would likely get hired.
