I'm going to be blunt, you pretty much have no chance of going directly into the firefighting field. Besides not being a US citizen your WAY WAY overqualified. The way it currently works is you sign up for a fire academy then go into a volunteer firefighter position with no pay. If your ever so lucky you might land a full time position but thats after years of shoveling wet ashes with a smile. Even so your biggest disqualification is your education.

I'm not saying it's not possible but it's a huge long shot. First you need to get past immigration which has it's own big hurdles to jump over. And why would you want starting Firefighter pay 20-30K when you could have MD pay at 100-500K
