Like FF T says try to get in with a volunteer fire department. The refineries here take local fire department responders to fire schools with their own responders. I was a emergency responder for ExxonMobil for 35 years. Certified for interior and exterior fires. We went to A&M and sometimes there were some city firefighters that trained with us on refinery type props. Beaumont had a fire training grounds off I10 by the Neches river. Had some good props there for training. We went to Chicago and trained with the guys from ExxonMobil in Chalmette. Most fun fire school was in Reno, Nevada. Had a knee replaced before I retired and so my firefighter days are over. Good luck to you and train hard and it may save yours or some bodies life.....
