It depends on the state, if you are in the U.S. Most have adopted the NPQ system and will honor those certificates if you get them. That's "National Board on Fire Service Professional Qualifications" the website is www.theproboard.org
Now as to what NPQ certs you need:
-Firefighter 1
-Hazmat Awareness
FEMA Certs:
-IS-00100
-IS-00700
This is pretty much standard basic firefighter certifications. In the state you plan on working in, you will need some kind of certificate from the Standards and Training Council or whoever is the governing body on Firefighter standards. Now with the prominence of EMS calls in firefighting, some states may ask that you have at least a First Responder certificate from National Registry. Which ones do, I don't know.
The information regarding firefighter certifications can be found on the site of Office of the State Fire Marshal. http://www.state.il.us/osfm/PSandE/FFII.htm
You do not need college before becoming a firefighter
To become a firefighter in the UK, you typically need a minimum of five GCSEs at grades 9-4 (A*-C), including English, Maths, and Science. These subjects are essential as they provide foundational knowledge and skills required for the role of a firefighter. Additionally, some fire services may have specific entry requirements or preferences, so it's important to research the specific requirements of the fire service you are interested in joining.

You need to be a Firefighter 2 if you want to be a career firefighter. Go to your local fire station. Im sure theres a few guys who went to local Fire Schools and they had to have been in Florida since Florida does not accept other state fire certifications. You will also need to be an EMT. Being a Paramedic wouldn't hurt you in the least. You'll get picked over anybody for a job if your a paramedic.
