Im trying to decide whether or not it is worth going to the University of Wolverhampton to do a BSc Hons in Fire and Rescue. I want to be an officer.

I’d say no. Waste of money going to Uni for that:

What qualifications do I need to become a firefighter?

No formal qualifications are required to become a firefighter. However, you will need to pass a series of written and apptitude tests to proceed with any application. Any qualifications you bring into the service may help with future promotion.

My father was a Firefighter and lost his life in the line of duty when I was sixteen working for the County of Dallas Texas. I want to do Emergency, Fire & Rescue for the Navy and was wondering if anyone knows what I need to score on my ASVAB to qualify for that job? Also my credit is kinda of poor which is not holding me back from joining but I was wondering do you need to have any type of security clearance to do Emergency, Fire & Rescue?

No such thing as a Navy rating known as "Emergency, Fire & Rescue".

Rescuers had to cut the car roof off. Traffic on the 6-lane road was shut down in both directions at one point. Temperature was in the mid-90s on this hot sunny South Florida afternoon, with humidity right up there as well.

The woman appeared to be fine, with some cuts and bruises, but it was hard to tell from a distance. I just happened to be around. Lauderhill is in the greater Ft. Lauderdale area.
