How much training does a firefighter need?
One semester at a community college will get you the Firefighter 1 certification. Pay varies depending on the venue you persue. CA state firefighters make about $2000/mo to start, while city firefighters can make about $5000/mo depending on their location. There are 5,000 applicants for every 1 open position, so before you make the leap, you need to really consider your odds.
