I'm writing a book where the character's house burns down, and she doesn't think it's an accident. How can you tell a fire is arson?

Asked by Madison over 10 years ago

Personal items removed from house prior to fire, excessive debt, behind on house payments are your first clue. As for the home numerous ignition point. No power to the house. Vacant homes are good starting points.

I'm in SoCal, I'm 23 w 2yr of 911 EMT experience, about to complete Fire Academy, then take Paramedic classes and hopefully work for a volunteer FD at the same time. What else should I be doing to stand a better chance of getting hired in SoCal?

Asked by SoCal over 9 years ago

Are you working while going to paramedic? If you are, you are going to find it difficult generally to volunteer/work and go to school all at once. Paramedic is a pretty tough class. Getting hired in CA can be difficult due to the competition. You will have a better chance applying nationwide. Paramedics are a dime a dozen in CA. They are hard sought for for instance in SC where I work. Most depts are going to an ALS system and require PM license.
