The other day I was standing in line in CA just off Shelter Island and I saw a guy wearing a firefighter t-shirt. Being a P/T volunteer FF who seeks to find grants for our local fire department near Escanaba MI. I wanted to pick his brain a little. I also have one child that did not show interest in college but did show interest in potentially being a FF, as well as another who wants to join the National Guard as well as is currently attending college. I like to reach out and gain as much information as I can so I can pass it on.
He said he was a FF for about 20 years and loved the work and has seen some of the country and world. I asked about college requirements and he said there are none. I further inquired if they need more FF and he said that they are struggling to find people. He did recommend Hotshots and the chance to work for the Forest Service. Thus, if anyone is interested in firefighting jobs you may want to consider some of the resources in Michigan and the Forest Service below.
If you are a company/business that wants to donate some resources for a local fire department in Michigan please reach out to the contact form on the right and I will point you in the right direction. Tax deductible.
