The city of fountain in Colorado used to us attend animal training that was unpaid and told us if we didn’t attend, we were fired.

It's the Law. They don't have a choice but to pay you if it's mandatory and if your driving to and from that has to be paid time but if your a passenger no pay is required. Just call the US Dept. of Labor after you finish the class and they will make sure everyone get paid and you will get whistle blower protection and with you asking ?s like that you'll need it sooner than later.

You honestly should have had your EMT prior to any paid or volunteer job. Thats mostly a prerequisite and is at the beginning of your career. Becoming a professional paid firefighter takes sacrifice and having a 3k$ EMT class paid for you and helping your career track doesnt sound like you should be complaining.

The IFFA is a union for Firefighters, not administrators. Keep that in mind.
