Interested in doing a ride-along?
Not all fire departments have ride-along programs, especially since COVID happened, but if they do, the closest ones to our programs are listed below with links to applications, requirements to do the ride-along's and any contact information we could find.
It is up to you to reach out and see if you could schedule time - but ride-along's could be a valuable way to get to know some active personnel, see what a shift is like and if you're lucky, maybe be a part of some of the calls (dependent on rules and crew's comfortability with it).
There are many other departments other than those listed in the document below, so if you don't see one you wanted, feel free to check their website or do a search in Google saying "(insert fire department name) ride-along's" and see what comes up!
Enjoy and good luck! Remember that even if you graduated, you are a representative of our program so be professional and make a good name for yourself and us!
