    Question for you career guys. What certs did you have at the time of being hired? I have my FF1 and I will have my basic emt and redcard pretty soon. I will have those three for sure, but will hopefully finish up with a degree in fire protection technology soon. Most openings I see around here want you to do their personal academies. What did you guys do?

    I did an academy on my own then EMT. And two small volley department academies for pre employment. Then I went through a career academy with the department I am on currently. So certs before hire were FF1, haz mat opps, EMT. A few other ones that are just special rescue stuff but they didn't help with hire. I know in the Denver area they are changing the hiring process so people will have to have certs to get hired. The academy I went through for career was a joint academy with 6 departments in the Denver metro area and everyone had to have FF1, haz mat ops, EMT B just to get into the academy.

    Does anyone want to trade patches? Trying to get our collection built up at our station. We have about 10 now, and I am just starting to build it bigger. PM me :D
