Hiya nozzlenut264, there are some of us that lurk on the boards... What part of Southern Jersey are you in??

head on over to the team web site download the app. for the team and send it in.. I've heard that is a waiting list but it's short

get what you can in the way of training, EMT is a plus.. most of what you need will be given in-house once your a member

I am a Firefighter/EMT-D looking into the TF. I checked out their website, but was a little more confused. What is it exactly that yall do?

Well in a nutshell, we assist local dept.'s with USAR. One of our bigger things is strutcual collapse wether that be one building or multiple buildings. We also have been doing swiftwater for a while now and it seems that this role will be expanding somewhat. There are many other things that we are capable of doing, but those two are the ones that stick out the most. I've only been on the team for a little longer than a year and a half, I am always amazed at the amount of knowledge that the different people bring to their component. Like Bob said, check out the website for more info.
