If you're considering joining the fire department, then maybe you should arrange a meeting with them and you could ask them yourself in addition to talking to them about their requirements and expectations to be a member.[/QUOTE
WOW!!!!, what a great idea, I never thought about doing that. Now i have suggestion for you, try and catch someone at the station. My job takes me past the fire station numerous times a day and there is never any one there to ask for information.
