You could also look into volunteering at your local fire station and getting training for that as well. This kind of volunteering will not only get you training and experience, it will also get you in contact with people who are professionals, and that can often lead to paid work. You might consider learning a second language as well -- this will make you particularly attractive to organizations like FEMA. Spanish is an obvious choice, but just about anything would be of value.
