The State of Maryland has a new program kicking off this Fall whereby individuals interested in pursuing careers or volunteering in Fire/Rescue/EMS can attend an academy-style training (generally Monday-Friday format) program at MFRI's LESRTC (Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute Lower Eastern Shore Regional Training Center)- you will be paid $15/hour and receive the following courses:
Firefighter I
Firefighter II
Emergency Vehicle Operator

Hazardous Materials Operations.
After successful completion of the course, your name will be distributed to fire departments in the area for possible full-time, part-time, or eligibility placement.
If you are a Pocomoke resident you can apply to volunteer at the Pocomoke Volunteer Fire Company and get paid for the required training.
