Good day folks,
I've just completed my EMT class here in Phoenix, AZ, and am taking my national registry tonight. Not to count my chickens, but I'm confident in my impending results.
Anyway I'm in a weird situation. I'm a seasonal Wildland Firefighter, and took the last season off to pursue my EMT Certification. I expect to receive my Cert in the mail sometime early January, which gives me probably until sometime in April to practice my newly acquired skills. I am very dedicated to getting as much exposure to EMS before the fire season kicks off, but I need help figuring out the best way to get my feet wet.
I don't want to give the impression that I'm a bright eyed and bushy tailed youngster looking to get elbow deep in trauma and action, I'm just looking for a place to put my time in and experience what I can to become an efficient health care provider.
I feel like employment with AMR and Banner are out of the question, as I don't want to get a job, go through all the on boarding, and then quit after three months to disappear for six months. The same goes for Volunteering at Banner, they require six months commitment, and I don't want to burn any bridges.
Any and all help would be more than appreciated, thanks and have a great day.

tl;dr: I have three months to be an EMT, where can I work/Volunteer?
