Don't you got to take a first aid class and a acquire a basic wildland, fire-fighter rating?
Or, you just forming up a volunteer bucket-brigade.

You all might want to look into CERT training / Red Cross training first, if you're interested in volunteering.
The last thing Emergency Services needs is amateurs wandering around disaster areas regardless of how good their intentions are.
Call the local fire dept. first to see how much they'd appreciate untrained fire workers.

I was considering looking into seasonal, wildland firefighting to get my foot in the door, but even they want an ass-load of certification for that.
1)Basic Wildland Firefighter course
2)Basic Incident Command
and 3) would be an EMT-Basic certification.
Only problem with the last one would be the fact that I also have to go through the DMV and get my ambulance-driver certificate.
The way they do things here is they make you take that test in addition to making you take all your previous ones over as well.
Lose one, gain another that will cost me? Piss on that.
I'll have much better chances gaining helicopter flight time and joining the swinging-bucket brigade!!!
