I am seeking a career as a Firefighter in the NW of the USA. I am voluteering and am a Firefighter 1 and will obtain my EMT Basic by next Spring.
I hope to be hired by my City but realise that it is a better senario for them to hire Paramedics than Basics (the Dept' is small) and I just want to be a Firefighter rather than a Paramedic.
Do you know of other States, Cities, Towns etc that hire just Firefighters without EMT status? Or with just a Basic status?
Do you have recommendations to advance my career?
