I think they bumped it up to around 160 hours of FF1 in NJ. I am on my 6th year on an engine company. Started driving and pumping the engine this year.

I am glad I started doing it but the hardest thing is finding time to put the effort in. I am almost done with school, have a full time job, and I'm usually out with my friends at night. Even with all that i still make about 40-50% of the calls we get each year in my town.

I think you'll like it just make sure you put the effort in and be prepared to meet many weirdos.
