I don't especially like working with fire, but I know if I want to work for a fire department I will have to get a minimal of fire 1 and 2 certifications and Haz-mat technician. I have heard that working for private ambulance services is a not a good idea because your job is insecure. I don't know if that is a true, but I just want to get some opinions on the matter from some more experienced EMTS and Medics.
