    Are you a big MF?  Willing to listen to commands? Not allergic to smelling smoke and not frightened of a bit of flame?  Hell, are you made out of ASBESTOS?   Can you go high distances into trees to rescue cats? Most fire halls have volunteer firemen that come when called (meaning they can drop the job they are doing and come running in their own vehicle.) Very few are on Permanently.  Are you claustrophobic (get freaked out in tight small spaces)  If not and healthy and strong and can show up, then you are a  possibility.  They don't care about educational certification unless it is fire related(eg hazardous chemicals, first aid treatment, and more(they will teach you much more than your diploma is worth)

    Like I don't give a fuckle. You ask your local and they will tell you where to go.

    Understand those that fight forest fires are a different group of people who have authority OVER structural fire fighters. (one group has water bombers at their disposal and the other NOT)

    You can't join a fire department yet. You need training and have to pass your examination first before anything.

    You can't be hired as a fire fighter just by applying to a fire station. You need to undergo whatever post-secondary education/training is required by your locality.  This is likely to be training at a firefighting academy.

    Contact a station and ask about the required/recommended training and any recommended education.  You could also ask about volunteer opportunities. That's sometimes a way to get started.

    Not at all sure you need a Diploma but you would have to be prepared to go through a lot of training with them and be physically fit.

    The job of bing a firefighter is pretty desirable for a lot of people and in most areas they make pretty good money and the job has excellent benefits. A college degree is not a mandatory job requirement but, because the job and benefits are so good, a huge number of applicants have one. Those are the people you are competing against to get hired. Presumably military experience is also desirable is hiring new people. So do a tour in the military and then take advantage of the government paying for college for veterans and your chances will be far better. (You may see this as a joke but it is serious advice).

    No idea. Ask your local ones and see what the options are.
