I'm a 27 year old doctor here but somehow my inner fire fighter is screaming out. I've worked as an EMT for sometime before (though they did accept me without any further training since I was a physician already).

I'm just wondering if U.S. FD's accept foreign applicants. How hard is it to be employed as a fire fighter in the U.S.?

I'm looking at L.A. or Texas since I have relatives there.

Thanks!
