My name is Kory Pearn, I am a professional firefighter with the St. Thomas Fire Department.  I have recently written a book titled The Complete Guide to Becoming a Firefighter, which focuses on topics such as recruitment strategy, decision making, problem solving, preparation for all stages of the recruitment process… and all other fundamentals related to becoming a firefighter.  I also discuss topics such as age, understanding minimum requirements, qualifications, hiring process etc.
Having recently gone through the process myself, I can offer expert, up-to-date advice on all aspects of recruitment and provide the reader with an honest and realistic portrayal of the expectations and demands required of a firefighter recruit.
