10-12 Years Old
Usually, you must be 18 and older to become a firefighter. However, some volunteer departments have a "Cadet" or "Trainee" program, allowing people as young as 16 to apply. Cadets are restricted in what they can do for the department, and usually cannot enter burning buildings, use saws, etc until they turn 18 and pass their Firefighter I course.
You can train for free to become a volunteer firefighter and there are firefighter training dvd's also.
The annual salary for a FireFighter is $37,452. I applaud you if you become a FireFighter, Good luck!
According to HowStuffWorks, it takes about 600 hours of training over 12-14 weeks to become a firefighter.
You can still become a firefighter in Michigan if you've gotten a DUI. You must however go through extensive therapy, AA meetings, and file to have your license reinstated before you can become a firefighter.
Chemistry probably wouldn't hurt
You do not need college before becoming a firefighter
18 years old
I believe someone would become a firefighter because it's something there passionate about, and something they really are interested in doing.
To become a firefighter you need special training with real fires and fake mechanical people and buildings.So you can practice before theres a real fire.
