How old do I have to be to be a volunteer firefighter?

Also how can I convince my parents friends and family to support me and let me become one? (I'm 16...so )

    It depends on where you are located, so will have to check with your local fire department.

    As for getting support, I honestly can't imagine why your friends and family wouldn't give you this. It's a greatly respected and rewarding position, despite the possibility of danger. If that's what you think they'll be worried about, get some tips from firefighters on how to talk to them about it so that they feel better.

    Hope that helps! :)
