www.rossfordfire.com

www.perrysburgfire.com

I can't think of the rest off of the top of my head.

[FFYagour88]

[Wentz34]

they are suburbs of toledo.. where are you looking around.. BG, Toledo, Findlay...?

[FFYagour88]

no like suburb around cleveland

[RFRDxplorer]

Oh sorry. I read your OP real fast and thought it said Northwest Ohio. There are plenty of places out here for you if you're willing. You can make it to downtown Cleveland in 1 hr and 20 min or so.

[FFYagour88]

ya ha lol thats really far tho you no i dont wanna have to drive and 2 hour drive to go to work you know what i mean

[FFYagour88]

im looking for a part time/ volunteer position in northeast ohio.. i only have my firefighter 240 i start emt in January

[FFYagour88]

anybody on a department in NEohio that would take me with my 240 and emt and paramedic on the way.. or no any departments that would take me

[Wentz34]

are you currently a EMT-Basic?.. there are several depts. around the area that have no requirements besides high school diploma or GED.. all you have to do is find out when they are testing, take the written, if you pass take a physical test and so on. There are a few depts. tho that do require medic and so on. Your 240 card and basic would def. help getting hired imho tho.

[FFYagour88]

do you no any off hand

[jbrescue]

Where do you live? This will narrow down your choice of departments. Most of the part time places have some sort of area of response requirement. I can suggest several if you narrow it down. But, you will most likely need your EMS certifications first.

[FFYagour88]

i live in chester land its east of Cleveland

[jbrescue]

Try Chesterland first. They are a volunteer/part time department. Then you can look at just about anything around you. They all have either volunteer or volunteer/part time departments. If you go into Lake County, you will find full time/part time departments. I suggest getting your EMT first. Some of them may take you without it to get you started.

[FFYagour88]

i was an explorer in chesterland but i left because of problems there im sure you heard bout it bout do you know any one around me that could get me in somewhere or know of any departments that would take me

[jbrescue]

If you read my last post that should send you in the right direction. Almost all of Geauga county is either vollie or has some part-time. Lake county is full time/part time. Look around and ask friends that work at other departments. I am fully aware of what happened in Chesterland. It was a complete shame.

[FFYagour88]

ok thanks bud i have my 240 and emt starts in january.>> but does any one no of any places that would except me with only a 240

[MontvilleFire39]

Most departments are going to require your EMT card. That being said, here is where I would try once you get your EMT card;

Chardon
Kirtland
Munson
Middlefield
Auburn
Rusell
Bainbridge
Chagrin Falls
Aurora
Madison
Perry

[FFYagour88]

ok thanks is montville a vollie or part time

[Buckels128]

Most Fire Depts. in Cuyahoga county and Every Fire Dept. in Lake County with the exception of Eastlake has part time. just apply where ever you want to work. Its not that hard to find a part time fire job. Once you get your EMT card.

[FFYagour88]

so there are not any places that will take me with just fire

[sublbda15]

how about you call and ask departments in your area it might show your interested and they may give you some guidance

[Buckels128]

I have no idea. The best way to find out would be to either call or stop in at all the cities you are interested in working for. It cant hurt to ask. I am willing to bet that nobody is going to hire you over the internet.

[FFYagour88]

ya ha but where do work at!!

[Buckels128]

There is no Part-Time or Voll. where I work.

That is not true at all. Most in Cuyahoga are full time with not part time. There are a few that have either part time or are still volunteer as well. Geauga is still vollie, if there are any full time departments in the county I have overlooked them. Most of the vollie departments will put you one before/while you are in EMT school. Call and ask.

[Buckels128]

"That is not true at all. Most in Cuyahoga are full time with not part time."



You are right I posted that with out really thinking about it.
