Reply to comment by UnderratedLegends in New Hampshire Fire Departments by UnderratedLegends

So the work week is based on 42 hours and so yes they are some variation of that schedule. Mine is 24 on 48 off 24 on 96 off which is the perfect balance in my opinion. Historically positions are highly competitive but the last 2 years NH has been hurting for entry level Firefighters so it's a good time to apply if your green/new! Be prepared to be sent straight to AEMT school most career departments don't run EMTs after probation. This will be all on the departments dime of course. This is the best job in the world and NH is a great place to work. Do your research on departments and you will find the right fit.

OP just be aware that not all departments will pay for your AEMT. It is a base job requirement at mine so it's on you to get certified before the end of your probation.

How hard was getting your AEMT?

I was originally an Intermediate so I just had to take the AEMT transition class. EMT-I wasn’t terribly difficult, more involved than basic but not crazy.
