Fire Department Opportunities in Arizona?

[RESCUERANDYEMS]

Does anyone know of any Fire Department that will hire you without Firefighting I & II or an academy they provide?

Also, Does anyone know a good program to get you Firefighting I & II Certification that does not require you to have a CPAT before being hired?

Ummmmmm, I do not now of any FD that will hire without some iteration of the CPAT. Get in shape, and pass the CPAT. It will be good for you, and honestly, the CPAT is not that bad.
Not sure about any FD in AZ that would hire you without FF 1 and 2, there are just tons of qualified candidates for those jobs who have FF 1 and 2.
I am starting to hear about more departments nationally that are considering Medics without FF 1 and 2, and then training them up to FF. But, I do not know of any depts in AZ doing this.
