Los Angeles County Trainee

Afraid this was going to happen. Any word from county FD? Are possibly delaying the hiring of new FFs as well?

Police and Fire will be largely shielded from these cuts. I know that refers mainly to overtime or existing personnel, but the department cannot and will not be able to operate without continuing with its current hiring process. There’s just way too many spots that need to be filled and those numbers are just going to keep getting worse with promotions/retirements. I’m not affiliated with the department, but I think it’s safe to safe the current hiring process and those of us fortunate enough to be moving forward should be good.

I see it says something about the city making and delaying hiring but would that also effect the county? They are already hurting as far as personnel

Who knows. I could see this years dates being good as the towers are more than likely funded. But with funding coming from the success of the local economy and currently that is taking a massive hit. I don’t know how far I to the future they funded. I agree that county is hurting. Someone in la city’s thread brought up a good point. This is going to drive some people who are of retirement age out because they don’t want to deal with it. We shall see.

Agreed! I think at least this years academy’s are still going to be a go like navymech said. No way they’ll be able to keep up with promotions and retirements without multiple academy’s

If I remember right, the fire chief said that all funding for hiring has already been placed to the side and that the coronavirus will not delay hiring. Pretty sure he said this a few weeks ago during their social media video.

Here's a bit of an update. Still some positive signs for us candidates. Let's hope we all get through this.

For band 1?

I don’t know. But going off the timeline of the vbanders I feel like it should be coming up. I knew a band 1 guy that interviewed in early March. They have been sending stuff out on fridays as well
