Is being a firefighter a career possibility why or why not?
If you live in a big city (New York/Chicago) then yes. The pay is not great but it's usually enough to just get by. If you don't live in a big city then no. Chances are your local fire department is a volunteer organization. I encourage everyone to be a firefighter whether paid or volunteer. It's feels great to help your community and it's fun as hell!

Is 48 ys old to old to be a firefighter?
Some of the answer will depend upon what sort of firefighter you mean. As a retired career (full-time) firefighter, I'll give answering a try. As far as age, my department had a minimum age of 18. But you would need to be in exceptional physical condition to compete with fire academy trainees half your age. That is a huge hurdle to overcome. You also need to exhibit a high level of intelligence to compete. A volunteer firefighter is different. I've also been a volunteer firefighter, and while you still need to be in shape, the age of 48 is quite common for them. A lot less is required, simply due to it being either a low-or-no-pay position, with relatively few fire calls. Good luck. Speaking as a volunteer (on-call) firefighter, I would have to agree with the above: it was somewhat difficult to obtain certification at the age of 50 at the state fire academy, but they wouldn't let me work structure fires without being certified in this state, even though I started in firefighting 35 years ago. I know smokejumpers who "retired" before they were 40, but there are a few who continue well into their 50s.
Can a felon be a fire fighter?
In the State of Illinois, a convicted felon can serve as a volunteer firefighter. However, most departments/districts require background checks on perspective members and most volunteer districts/departments will not allow convicted felons to serve on their department. I do know of 2 volunteer departments in central Illinois that currently have convicted felons serving as volunteers because, the nature of their felonies were not violent. In short it all depends on the by-laws of each individual department and/or district. I don't know of any volunteer department or district that will allow a person convicted of a violent crime to serve as a volunteer firefighter.

Is being a firefighter hard?
It's definitely not an easy task, and can vary be how big or small your city's fire department is, and how many other people are applying for the job. There are certainly things you can do to help increase your chances, such as keeping a clean criminal record, getting a college degree, being physically fit, among other things.
