This is a question that is probably a dime a dozen but are there any fire departments that are hiring in 2013 ? and do Louisiana certifications like firefighter 1 &2 ( i have hazmat awareness, ops, emt-B , firefighter 1&2, and driver operator) and such count in other states? thank you for your time in reading

FDs hiring in 2013? Yes, many are hiring.
Does LA certs transfer? Depends on the state.

End of thread.

Thank you for the quick reply I was looking at the states Texas, Arizona, California, and Oregon. I know it's a wide range and every where I look I get dead end answers about what or where to look so any bit more helps ! I read more from the forum and learned a lot about the different tests but missed out !

look at state requirements for certs.

make a spreadsheet of all depts in the areas you would/want to go and bookmark their websites.

you have to do the footwork, nobody is going to hand you a job or hold you hand to tell you who's hiring. in all honesty, guys who say they dont know who's hiring or where to look arent trying hard enough. i think its fairly simple to find out who's hiring and i dont pay for site who tell you.

I agree with you on going to websites and there's a million cities to look at I thougt the point of a forum was to help each other out even if it's been asked a thousand times lol it's ... Part of our job to go to the same place for the routine call. Well thank you for the advice I've already filled out a lot of the email notifications from the places I found. Appreciate it.
