Do you need a cdl to drive a fire truck in ga?

Firefighting and emergency vehicles are exempt from CDL requirements under federal law. While it wouldn't hurt to have a CDL, it's not necessity. Georgia, however, has non-CDL Class A and B licences, and you'd most likely be required to have one of those.

You have to take a computer test & get a class B noncommercial learning permit. After that log a certain number of hours driving the apparatus. Return to the DMV with a form from your Chief & they will swap your learning permit with a regular noncommercial class B license.
