Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 When you say " age of a person that should ride on a Fire Truck " are you talking about an observer, such as an Explorer Scout, or as a firefighter? And are you talking about during emergency responses or simply on a demonstration ride?

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 It may well be in Texas. Some States historically the ones with large numbers of volunteer fire departments do have specific laws allowing VFD's to be exempted from some Child Labor Laws or limiting their liability etc. Pennsylvania and New Jersey are both in that category. The real issue in New jersey for a long time on the EMS side was that at one time one could be an EMT-A at the age of 16 however, the Child Labor Laws stated that no one under 18 could work with any high pressure gas system specifically not allowing bottle to be changed and the like. Bit of a problem to ride an ambulance with the obvious need to be able to change out an O2 bottle etc. same on the fire side with allowing a Junior FF to change an SCBA bottle which was one of the things I did routinely as a Junior. Of course I rode the Box too since I was one of those 16 year old EMT-A's. The funny thing is that back in a time when common sense at least seemed to be more common than it is today I was not allowed to ride on the back step of any apparatus but I could jump up into the hose bed and ride there! It was safer NOT! The Boy Scouts through their Explorers program allows Members as young as 14. Louis N.
