The following are just a few of the topics covered: Your Two-Year Plan; Education; Fire Science Courses; Should I attend the Fire Academy?; Station Visits; Ride-alongs; Physical Fitness; Resumes; Oral Interviews; Physical Ability Exams; Polygraph Exams; Background and Credit Checks; Females in the Fire Service; How to Prepare for the Exam; Chief's Interview; Paramedic School.
