But since you asked; there are many states and cities with community colleges that have a Fire Science program. Many places require an EMT and at least a FFI cerification just to apply to take a test. You should be able to connect with some young firefighters that are or have taken firefighting courses.

Just a thought; my local community college has a firefighting program and one can submit home work online but I don't know that it is a requirement to do so. Is this what you meant about it hard to find a place to get education without having to do it by computer?

You mentioned your 20 years old; I assume you have a high school diploma? That's very important. GED may allow you to test however...Les

I'm not sure I understand your question and how it relates to my post. Les
