How would I become an EMT?

How can a high school student become a volunteer fire fighter or EMT?

  • I am 16 and a junior in high school. I live right across the street from the local firehouse. How can I be a volunteer? If the firefighter thing doesn't workout-how can I become a volunteer EMT? Thanks.

  • Answer:

    Go across the street and ask; however, I think they will tell you that you are too young. There are liabilities and most non profits can't stand the cost. Your community may have a Jr. Firefighters organization. Again, the best thing to do is ask. Hope this helps.

Many fire departments have cadet programs. You get to train and learn while still in school. Bare in mind many states, I live in indiana, require you to be at least 18 to actually respond to fires and be a certified ff.
