Anyone from Tennessee, north MS or east AR?

Better yet, anyone from Shelby County, TN or thereabouts?

I work as an EMT-IV with the Sheriff's Office and absolutely love it! I've been an EMT for 2 years, but can't afford to work full-time as one, so I do this part-time. It's so exciting! 'Course rumor is, it doesn't take much to entertain me.

San Diegan Moving to Nashville

Hello all!! I am a EMT student here in San Diego. My wife and I have just decided we are going to move back to her hometown in Franklin. Can anyone give me some detailed information about what I will need to do as far as getting hired on with a fire dept. in Nashville? I have done so much research in trying to become a FF out here in San Diego and now I need to start my research all over again. I will be a National Registered EMT by July of this year and that does not include any exp. as a hired on EMT. What would you guys say my best plan of attack would be to assure me I don't wate the year that I have here. What about requirements? Do you need to be an EMT, Medic, etc before you get hired on? I know it helps your chances, but is it neccessary? How much hiring do they do out there? I am 29, does that help/hurt me? As you can see I can go on and on with questions but I will leave it up to you to provide as much information as possible. I love TN and I can't wait to get there and do some white tail deer hunting. Thanks for your time and patience in answering my questions.
