| Posted 4 months ago Go to your local forestry unit. Walk in and ask. Thats basically how I got started in the fire service. Taking that first step seems impossible smetimes but that's what it will take. They can guide you along the way. |

To get a red card in Kansas one has to go through the State Department of Wildlife and Forestry... you might check on-line/Google it Red Card-Your State and check it out to see if that is an avenue. Eddie D. Howard
