Subject: overseas?

Question
Hi my question is Im looking for a contract over seas Iraq places like that do you know of anyone hiring overseas for a 1 or 2 year deal? I just cant find the info. thanks for your time

Answer
Randy,
  I'm not completely familiar with contract firefighting, especially overseas. However, I do know that the Dept. of Defense was contracting for firefighters in Iraq at one time. They require you to be firefighter certified, EMT-B, and at least HazMat Ops. Level. Check their website and search for firefighter jobs.
