I live in Wisconsin and have spoke to a couple of career FF in the Milwaukee area about my desire to become a career FF/Medic at age 35. I have been told WI does not have an age max.
I joined a volunteer FD last year, had wanted to for sometime, and love it!!!
Im taking both Fire 1 and EMT-I this January, our dept is not paramedic service.
But, I am making a career change and am extremely excited about it!! Hoping I get into a Paramedic program in August and will look to get into the recruitment process in 2012.
Again, Im 35, so I am hoping that having FireI/II and paramedic will provide me an opportunity to become a career FF/medic, do well on the testing and interview. Im thinking at my age, experience in volunteer and the dept not having to send me thru classes, will make me look more attractive, despite my age.....
Any advice or opinions would be greatley appreciated!!
