ABOARD THE CARRIER ENTERPRISE â In a room about half the size of a tennis court, half. a dozen sailors are waiting for a seat to open up at one of 30 computers lining the bulkheads. With a library next door, itâs like a high school media center, only the patrons are a few years.
Get the basic requirements. Firefighters must have a high school diploma and hold a valid driverâs license. Though firefighters must be 18 years old in order to work, limited on-the-job training can begin at a younger age. There may be a limit on age as well, usually between 28 and 30 years old.
Firefighters hold one of the most important, yet dangerous, jobs. Their positions require them to put out fires, respond to other emergencies, and keep the public informed of fire safety and hazards. When an individual is interested in a career as a firefighter, they may start their training by becoming a volunteer. To become a volunteer, a person needs to be at least 18 years old, and have a high school diploma.
