re: OT Firefighters I Need Some Help

I'm in need of some advice. I want to become a firefighter and I've taken steps to help with the process (taken civil service, EMT certification). I live in the Shreveport/Bossier area. Shreveport sent out applications in September and I filled it out and mailed it in (was working in West Virginia at the time) but did not hear back on anything until after they had hired. I have friends that work for SFD and they were helping to keep me informed but they didn't hear anything until the department had already picked their class, just like me. Is there anything else I can do to become successful in becoming a firefighter? Any and all help is much appreciated!

start small, volunteer for local squads in whatever capacity you can, sometimes they get grants for school. keep looking.
