i was thinking that too, that it is most likely they will give it to other well deserved u.s citizens, i plan on exceeding at everything maybe even work as a paramedic beforehand to get some experience maybe that will help a bit.

Every department has their own rules, however if you are authorized to work in the US you should be okay. if you are interested in a specific department, check out their website.

I'm sure you're going to need to contact your local FD's to get this question. Every jurisdiction has it's own rules--though I know hundreds of people apply for just a handful of spots, and in my opinion it's unlikely that they'd give a coveted position to a non-citizen over several deserving citizens.

It should be enough to be a firefighter. Good Luck.
