17 years as part time paid volunteer. 1 of them as a B, 16 as an I and Department Head. :ph34r:
 
I'm currently 20

Boy Scout - First Aid Merit Badge 12y/o
Boy Scout - Emergency Prepardness Merit Badge - 14y/o
Fire Explorer - 14y/o
EMT - 16y/o
Junior Volunteer Firefighter - 16y/o
Paid EMT 18y/o
Paramedic Student 19y/o

4 years as an EMT, but I've been around the firehouse since I was 8 years old (My Mother is on the Fire Co. Auxiliary)

2 years paid. Paid is usually Less experience than vollie, unless you get on with one of the 911 squads.

After I joined the Explorer Post, I hung out at the fire house a lot. Probably not a great thing for my growing into a mature and responsible adult.

After I turned 16, I've volunteered or worked as an EMT 20+ hours a week ever since.
