It's usually 18-21 for a minimum age. There is no maximum age limit for new recruit although you should be aware that the retirement age of a Firefighter is 55.
The retirement age for all new firefighters in Marin is 57. While less than 1/2 of Marin firefighters were once allowed to retire by age 50 (most were able to retire at 55), few have the years of service by age 50 to retire at all, much less at 90%. The reason very few receive this level or benefit is that they would have had to start working age 20 to earn 30 years by age 50.
