If I want to become a firefighter or EMT, what kind of classes should I take in school?
A high school diploma or equivalent is required and college level studies are preferred. All general studies are helpful to become a well-rounded employee with special emphasis on sciences, math, and English. Entry level courses with focus on firefighting and EMS are: Firefighter I / Firefighter II and EMT-B. These classes will provide a basis of helpful knowledge but are not generally required for application to the Fire Department.
