Your best bet is going to be the county websites, they are going to have the best chance for openings for the Fire Department because most Fire Departments will only take you to the county website from there.

Prior to applying I didn't have -any- fire expirence. I went through a 18-week class, which varies from county to county, after my hire date. Not to mention this was -paid- training. So, you can literally come off the street and they'll train you to get you ready.
