According to the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) a conviction for a DUI remains on your driving record permanently. Since you were underage at the time of your DUI in North Carolina this may be considered as underage drinking or a minor in possession in Georgia however you would need to discuss this issue with the GA DDS to see how it is categorized on your driving record and how long they will keep it on there, permanently as if it was a DUI or for lesser period of time since it was when you were a minor.

According to the information we found possession of alcohol by a minor in Georgia is considered a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months imprisonment and/or a fine of up to a $300.To see if this is how the North Carolina DUI is categorized on your Georgia record check with a lawyer.

If the NC DUI is on your Georgia driving record and you would like to clear your record before applying with the fire department in Georgia then see if the DDS has a way for you to do so and/or contact a lawyer to see if with help you could get this expunged from your record.

Expungement is a term that means different things in different jurisdictions; generally, it refers to the cleansing of one's criminal record, or the sealing and destruction of arrest and/or conviction information. A lawyer familiar with Georgia expungement laws should be able to help you determine if your record could be cleared.
