Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Can someone direct me to where I could find the laws for the State of Texas that pertain to underage or age of a person that should ride on a Fire Truck. Or direct me to the yahoo group that could help. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 There is not a law that I am aware of however, each dept. Should way the decision very heavely these days due to liability, I started in the fire service at 14. 15 years later as an officer there is noway I would let anyone under the age of 18 on my truck way too much to lose in my opinion, a minor can participate in training but no fire ground activities whatsoever! You may want to check the houstonfd yahoo group or bexarcountyfire group they may have some more insite! -Chris Sorry for the spelling and punctuation this was typed on tge tiny keyboard on my iPhone > Can someone direct me to where I could find the laws for the State > of Texas that pertain to underage or age of a person that should > ride on a Fire Truck.
