Yes, that's a good start.  My buddy is a firefighter here in Colorado.  He volunteered for about 2 years before he got hired on.  Another good thing to look into, alot of community colleges offer "Fire Sciences" coursework.  You can get an AS, or sometimes all the way up to a Masters (of course that level isn't tought at community college) if you want to maybe be a fire inspector, or chief someday.  Good luck!!

What Firemans test? Are you talking about the fire 1&2 written or the practical? Your local Fire dept should have the book's you need if your not already on a Dept.\nIf your talking about for a hiring process then each Dept makes it's own and you'll have a spych evaluation test to go with it. They usually have a practical as well.

get involved in your community.  Sounds like a silly suggestion to give a firefighter LOL. How more involved in the community can you get.\nReally, join a local club that helps the community. Help build a park for kids or help build a home for those in need. Help out at a shelter or can drive.\n\nThen there's gardening or a new sport. Perhaps join a ball team or hockey team (they may have a beer league in your area)\nBe a Big Brother or a Boy Scout leader. Deliver food for Meals On Wheels.\n\nNo matter what you do...\n\nENJOY YOURSELF!

In general fire departments set their own minimum age higher than whats required of them. For larger departments you are looking at 21 years old minimum. \n\nThere are listings for jobs for those 18 or older on the texas Texas commision on fire protection (link below), so you certainly can become a firefighter at age 18 in texas.\n\nNeither the Texas Office of state fire marshall or commision on fire protection clearly listed a minimum age by law, however it is unlikely that any department would hire you under the age of 18 as you could not qualify for IFSAC certifications that require a minimum age of 18, meaning those under 18 would be a huge liability.\n\nJunior / Explorer firefighting positions are available to whatever age departments wish to open membership up to, often ages 14-16 and above. Junior members don't enter burning structures but are often able to go to some calls and perform some basic duties as well as train with their department.

Depends if it's a Civil Service Test or if it's a Department written Test.\n\nCivil Service Test... Nothing to study.\nFD Testing... Study your terminologies, your standard policies and procedures for both fire & EMS.

You must, by OSHA regulation, be 40 hour HAZWOPER (hazardous waste operations) trained to at least "awareness" level.  If you're honestly interested in Haz Waste Ops, hit the Chemistry classes, familiarize yourself with basic concepts--oxidizer, reducer, corrosive, spontaneously combustible, etc., etc.  You'll have to be trained to at least "Technician" level.  Personally, I hold a "Specialist" certification.  Be advised that there are literally volumes and volumes of both regulations and requirements for proper storage, segregation, handling, lab packing, transporting and treating of Haz Waste.

Your local fire dept may offer this training for free or minimal cost. Many private companies and individuals offer this type of training to business and industry. Cost normally depends on complexity and subject matter. Simple fire drill and evacuation planning should be relatively inexpensive if offered.
