If you're just beginning to think about a career in firefighting you probably have lots of questions about the profession. 

To be eligible for employment as a firefighter in the State of Florida, you must be Florida State certified. Many departments also require Florida State EMT certification. If you are not certified, there are several institutions that offer Firefighter training and Emergency Medical Training. Day, evening and weekend classes available at some locations. Firefighters today do much more than fight fire. Most are trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) or Paramedics and many are involved with special units that handle technical rescue and hazardous materials.
