Yes I have heard that the chief is big on being physically fit, which is what I love to hear. I try to make it to the gym 4-5 days a week. Trying to get my cardio up to speed.

Those selected for the October class have already been contacted. I know several of the people were selected. They were told that there is going to be an additional class starting in December that is going to be 10 weeks shorter than their class. This class would be for people with "experience" but what that means is no clear at this time. Most of those that I know that have been hired for the October class are medics, so clearly "experience" means more than just being a medic.

Originally posted by mcz049 View PostI just completed the process. I have heard that there is a ton of overtime available in this department, particulary for medics. Is there anyone out there that can confirm this? Also, I understand that there is a shift differential for being on 24 hour schedules, however, I can't find anything that explains how this works. Any insight would be appreciated.
IDK how night diff works, but it was explained that it was worth about $2k/yr in extra pay.

I would highly suggest (if you have not already done so) to PT of some sort after reading this post. PT is a critical part to the job, i'm sure you know, but to the Fire Chief and just as important, Basic Training. The Fire Chief himself comes out to the Academy to PT and sees his possible candidates, and Basic is no joke when it comes to PT. Be ready to run. and run. and run.

Apparently I was given some wrong information. I just spoke with Recruitment and was advised that there will NOT be a December class. I was told by Recruitment that the next class will be in early 2015. No info of whether it will a full length or a shortened class.
