â If you are dedicated, though donât have time to run your EMT training in parallel with your fire training, and assuming you are hired by the department on your first attempt, it will take you 3.5 to 4 years to become a firefighter (though you will be a probationary firefighter after 3 â 3.5 years).
i am a volunteer firefighter, which did not require school, but they will send you to classes needed, which will also go towards being a paid firefighter.. to be a paid ff, you have to go through acadamy... volunteers go when they can, paid ff work 24 on and 48 off... and if its really bad they do get called in..
