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.

  1. I was never one of the guys that wanted to be a FF since they were a kid. I got my degree, worked in sales, but eventually found my way to this job. Glad it happened.
