For anyone interested in becoming a firefighter in TO this could be the ticket.

Although, "Toronto Fire Services does not accept external transfers to any of the entry level firefighter positions", they do  accept internal transfers from Prevention to Operations.
You would maintain your seniority and pension, and not be competing for the precious few firefighter jobs available with civilians off the street.

( Sort of like doing an OT in the CAF ).
