FF 1&2 in Massachusetts

Hi, currently I'm on a call department in North Worcester county, and I'm trying to get into a Firefighter I and II class. I was hoping to start a class this fall, but I cant seem to find my way around the mass.gov website to find the classes. I believe there is a District 8 class which my departments located in starting in January, but since I'm in college and play lacrosse in the spring that wouldn't really work out. I am without a doubt going to drop playing to start the Fire I&II, but I just wanted to know if anyone was aware of a class starting sooner than January. If so or you have any ideas that could help me they would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Robert Kilroy

The only class my superiors knew about is the January class, which I mentioned, and my question was for people who would know of another. And its a paid per call department, sorry I'll fix the mistake I made in my profile for you. Thanks for your time.

And by the way, on volunteer/on-call departments in Massachusetts Fire 1&2 is recommended not required.; ▶ Reply to This

Like many states a 36 hr volunteer fire certification is all that is required for a volunteer or 'paid per run' department. Level 1 and/or 2 is typically only required of stationed departments, part & full time. DT must have skipped his yoga class today.; ▶ Reply to This

Please go to the "Should a volunteer be forced to do something they do not want to do" and read my response. Now not everyone falls into this categpry but in the other post you will see that your opinion can't be justified when some will say... "...
