How I should make my way into a wildland firefighting career?

I'm a senior in high school in Texas and I was wondering how I should make my way into a wildland firefighting career. I have been accepted into college but I'm not sure if I want to go and I don't know if it will be necessary for wildland firefighting. I don't want to waste 20k dollars on schooling that I don't need for my job. I am just trying to figure out how to start up my career fighting forest fires. Is it on the job training or an apprenticeship program, do I need college, will I have to move out of state for training? #fire-fighter #wildfire #career #college #firefighter

What are fire fighters involved in?

I am a student at Brennan High School looking for more information on #fire-fighting #fire-fighter #public-services . I have seen fire fighters in ambulances, taking care of fire, going into car accidents, etc... and I was wondering if they take care of all of these or there’s just different types of fire fighters?

I am interested in fire science. Are there any professionals willing to share their experience on how they became a firefighter?

My grandfather was chief fire inspector for the state of Hawaii. He was really good at what he did. I heard most of the stories from my father, who would tag along during the days of his youth. My father even regretted not going into the fire department. I've heard about the benefits in working for the state. But I have other questions. How much are the pensions? What is a good age for retirement? Does firefighting count as a state or federal job? What are the physical training requirements for firefighting? Sorry for all the basic questions but my father doesn't like to talk much about the actual job because he's sort of scared? #firefighting #fire-investigator #department #fire-fighter
