I have been a professional firefighter in the United States for over ten years. My wife is potentially going to be transferring to a job in Munich (or another German city). I am aware that there are a lot of volunteer brigades, but I am wishing to continue my professional career in the fire service while in Germany. Can anyone offer any information regarding getting a job in the German fire service?

I could be completely wrong but I would try contacting the ZAV first to find out just what all exactly you would need to get your credentials verified for Germany, and also what areas to look into. Have you looked at the JobBorse site? I found a PDF file that might help you to find out what information you would need
