Dont know how old you are but I just retired a year ago last October after 25 years as a professional Firefighter. I was an engineer which most all firefighters will tell you is the best job in the department and it really probably is. I mean where else can you drive a 200k piece of equipment at a somewhat high rate of speed, disobey traffic signs if needed, and run into burning buildings!! I mean, what the hell is better then that! But on a more serious note, if your still in your 20's or early 30's, this might be an option. It can be a VERY fulfilling job but it can also be the most disheartening and disappointing job as well. And you can experience all of those emotions in the span of minutes.
