Natalie’s Answer

Hello Billy,
Being a marine with certainly help prepare you for the physical rigors of the fire academy and fire fighting profession. According to my research I did on your behalf, the following are required to become a firefighter in California
Be 18 years of age.
Possess a High School Diploma or Equivalent.
Possess an Emergency Medical Technichian (EMT) Certificate.
Some cities will want the candidate to have college level fire training.
Some cities will want a Certificate of Completion of California’s “Firefighter 1” or State Fire Marshal’s approved alternative through a regional Fire Academy.
Be willing to undergo a criminal background check with the state of California as well as an FBI background screening.


You can also look into volunteering with your local first aid department or fire department.


I hope this helps,


Natalie
