[Wentz34]

so for both perrysburg and massillon you need to be a medic? and does anyone know how many Upper Arlington is looking to hire?

[37truck]

I heard tonight that Toledo is starting the recruitment process. 18 months worth for a class tenative for 2009. We will have by then over 300 elgible for retirement. We already have over 200. Fill out an intrest card at Government Center on the 19th floor.

[PFD109NFD107]

Yes in Perrysburg you have to be a medic.

I am not sure on the number to be hired but we potentially have one or two openings in the next month. There is also plans to hire 2 additional firefighter/paramedics next fiscal year. We will also be staffing a second station in the next 1-2 years.

[Wentz34]

I have filled out an interest for toledo online and any more info you can get would be greatly appreciated.
As for perrysburg i am going to try to have my medic license by the next test.

[Wentz34]

[Wentz34]

thanks for the post? any info on this dept?

[mdd2121]

bay village, twinsburg

[Wentz34]

are bay village and twinsburg currently hiring? where is this located? Thanks for the info!

[mdd2121]

i would suggest getting on as many eligibility lists as possible, espically in the ne ohio area. at the very least its practice for other exams. with the amount of guys across the region that are in the drop program now, you never know when any given city is going to have any number of openings since these guys havent been retiring for the last 3 years and can go anytime within the next 5 or so. many departments have 5-10+ guys in the drop.

bay village is east of cleveland

twinsburg is south east

[Wentz34]

Thanks, are there any links i could get to the homepage for the FD so i can look at qualifications? Thanks again!

[sirenchaser]

Defiance fire dept, in northwest ohio, is testing I believe Oct 10.

[Wentz34]

any other updates/info? Thanks again

City of Akron and Wooster

[Firemedic515]

Hey Nick,
Is TFD still talking about 3 more full-timers in the near future? Just curious.

[TFDNICK]

We'll see after November 6.

[Wentz34]

Anyone else sign up for the Akron test?

[ike053]

Yea, i signed up to take Akron's test. I also just received my results from Elyria. Anyone else take Elyria's? I am curious as to what got people into like the top 15, since I did well but still fell back spots after my interview.

Any input would be great.

[Wentz34]

have you heard anything from akron yet about the test date and such? has anyone?

[ike053]

I got my test date and information on Thursday (11/15) in the mail.

[Wentz34]

anyone know of any other test in ohio or nearby ohio? Thanks for any updates

[mdd2121]

possibly highland hts, and warren?

Wentz, instead of relying on info from here i think youd have alot better luck collecting all the area newspaper websites and bookmarking their jobs section and searching firefighter everyweek. most are updated very frequently. thats what i did when i was testing.

[fireguy919]

Canton has been having adds on tv a good bit the last few days.. ill write the number down the next time it pops up

[Radzyn]

Canton's deadline was December 7th I think.

[Radzyn]

Highland Heights is hiring if you're already Paramedic certified.

On a random side note, there's a Wackenhut Security Services ad in the Cincinnati Enquirer hiring lvl 2 fire/paramedic certed firefighters for 20 DoD sites over in Iraq, pay starting off at 90k per year.

And don't forget to fill out your Toledo interest card if you haven't already. I think that test is coming up soon.

[Wentz34]

yea filled one out.. heard it should be soon and around 25 ff's for the first class.
