Nashville Fire Recruit

You are right. I suppose you can only hope you get rotated off of it.

EgressOne-
That is exactly how it was explained to me. Again, my source is a metro paramedic, not a firefighter who's been through the process.

I did just meet a person last night that has already been to an equipment fitting and told he will be hired....and hasn't done any testing. After asking a mutual friend, I was told his dad is a metro firefighter, with some pull.

Hiring List

Does anyone know if the new hires will be hired off an existing list or the list being established in the current process?

Does anyone know if the new hires will be hired off an existing list or the list being established in the current process?

Why would they make a new list just to hire off the old one?


Does anyone know how long after the CPAT the other test will be given?

[FFQuinn]

Because a list is good for 3 years.....once the list is exhausted, obviously they have to make a new list for the next hiring phase.

[tigersfan86]

I believe the old list expired at the end of June 2010

Did anyone schedule a physical ability test date yet? It says on the job posting that Physical Ability tests will begin on August 9, 2010.. The deadline for applications is August 26.. I'm geussing there will be multiple dates for the test. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Physical

I have my physical scheduled for Aug. 18th @ 1:00, I'm pretty sure it's a version of the CPAT

[SFAlumberjack]

I'm scheduled for Friday. Test is gonna be cake. Only 4 or 5 events, have to walk, have 6 minutes to do it in, i think.

[ArnoldFF]

are there certain dates you can pick from? Anyone from Nashville or know anything about their current economy??( are they planning on hiring a lot?) I currently live and work in Vegas and want to move closer to my family. My parents are now living in Nashville and it's tough for me being way out here so I'm jumping into this oppurtunity. Thanks again..

[big_leauges]

[SFAlumberjack]
