Ask A Firefighter At what age did you start firefighting?
Asking because it’s a late career choice for some, while others do it right after college or even high school.

Started at 16 as an explorer and then full time at 18. I’m now 41.
There was a 50 something year old that went through an academy at a department I used to work at.
