Good job saying you like kids and firetrucks! It might get you a date with a sexy girl. Sexy girls always love firemen

Anyway, become familiar with getting a state license as a paramedic. I know its not the fire side of the profession, but all depts would agree that they need more medics. In the city and burbs, medic calls are a good majority of what the calls are related to. Paramedic school is a year long and requires you to get a couple of anatomy classes under your belt and be licensed as an Illinois EMT B first. Also a lot of paramedic programs want you to have working hours completed on an ambulance such as a private company like superior, vandenburg, medex and trace.

Yes! They like to do the nasty on top of fire engines! Over at the station in Chinatown. Saw it in a movie!

This is very true.

It's not impossible to get on the Chicago Fire dep't, but you apply and wait a couple years for them to maybe call you and say "Come on in."
