Most Tn departments require Firefighter I certification and an EMT license, or hire recruits and train them in an academy. Hiring usually involves an application, a written test, a physical ability test, an interview, and a background check.
Wherever you apply, expect the same core steps: meet the age, education, and driver's license minimums, pass a written exam and a physical ability test (often the CPAT), clear an oral board interview, and pass a background investigation and medical exam.
