Ohmygawd! I just got some really bad news. Rachel is leaving her site rachellucas.com and is going anonymous. How will we find her to partake of her piquant rants and sassy impudence?
Ohhhh.... That Michael (spit, blah!) Moore fan, if I get my hands on him....well, I'd wash them alot. But I would sure like to kick him repeatedly in the balls for about a week or two!

Hello,
What fire station do you work for? I am thinking of going towards firefighting as a career. How did you get hired (school, volunteer)? I am going through the prereqs at PCC, and I should be into the program next semester.

Well, I am VERY close to ya! I got started by going into the local station and asking about being a volunteer. I tested with about 75 other people, passed, and was accepted. If you are going through PCC, you will also have the opportunity to be a resident! This means you live at the fire station, work the last 12 hrs on youre shift (A,B,C) and generally just go to school. Most fire dept./districts pay you about $100 per month to be a resident, but you live there for free.
Fire Depts also test on a regular basis for new fire fighter trainees. If they hire you, they put you throuh a 10-15 week academy, and when you graduate, you're a probationary firefighter!
I am currently a volunteer FF/EMT, but am testing for every full time position I can!
Good Luck to ya!
Rescue Mike
