Currently serving Jasper County Fire Rescue in south Carolina along with Charleston County EMS.
Several ways. First dependant on where you live you can join a volunteer fire department. You do not neccessarilly have to have a college degree before you start or even upon completion of your career. I do recommend getting you EMT in that the majority of Fire Dept. responses are for EMS calls.

Are you required to report it if you find something suspicious or illegal on a client computer?
this also depends on availbility of others. Some communities have no choice but to use them.
Share Answer: 
Yes, I am currently going to Eastern Kentucky University online working on a BA in occupational Safety. Firefighting schedules work out pretty good for school.
Share Answer: 
Volunteer with a Dept. but make yourself more valuable by getting your EMT Certification since that is where the majority of our work comes from. It takes longer to teach a person to perform EMS than firefighting. So that gives you a heads up against others. I don't know how your feel about the military but they do have firefighters that you can enlist for.
