I'm looking to volunteer with a local fire department in order to get some more experience. They offer all kinds of free training if you put in enough hours, and I certainly intend to do that. FF training is among my options. So, for those of you who've worked in joint departments, what do you think? What kind of experiences have you had?
For some more background, it's a rural service with low call volume, and gets way more EMS than fire calls. I haven't noticed any pecking order problems with this district, although I could always just be oblivious. I intend to take as much EMS training as I can get, but I don't think the fire courses will conflict.
