Getting into the fire service is extremely difficult unless like someone else has said you have an inside source. You could try volunteering for a while and then using the contacts you make doing that to boast your application. The fire service is very close knit, having an inside source will put you above anybody else especially if you have a decent knowledge of the job before hand. Also any other kind of volunteering thats physically and mentally demanding, that will give you some relative experience. look into joing the community police force, you know the part time volunteers you see wondering around. You gain experience and make contacts.
The fireservice is tough and you have to pass many tests including general knowledge literacy numeracy that kind of thing not to mention the physical side i think the training is around 3 months after the intitial interview process , which includes fitness eyesight etc , i would go down to your local station and have a talk with them find out what you have to do and what you can do when it is time to apply good luck.
You'd get paid more to start fires.
