Is your town/village fully volunteer fire fighters, or a mixed bag of paid pros combined with volunteers? Personally, I always thought a first aid course could be very useful in real life.

Town and county fire service is all volunteer. We all however have to go through pro board accreditation (for classes) which is nationally recognized in the USA.

Check with your local department to see if they offer CPR and basic first aid courses. If your local FD (fire department) doesn’t offer any, neighboring town stations may.
