Fire Affinity Groups
If you are interested in meeting people working in the departments, working out with them, having interview practice, doing community service, and getting your face out there with the various departments - affinity groups are a great way to do that!
Reach out below to the various groups. They take current or past students, so you don't have to be hired by a department to join. They are looking to help mentor and bring up the next generation of firefighters.
