Any news on a possible date for the second academy class for AFD? I am sitting at 92, and they took the first 80 for the first class. Also I would like any information on what to expect during the academy. I appreciate any info.

Whiplash,
I'm guessing you never got a reply to this thread, so I thought I would get it back up top. I'm sitting at 96 right now and have similar questions. The waiting game is tough yet very exciting. Congrats on being number 92. Now let just hope everything works out for the second class! take care

All is looking well for those of you waiting on the 2nd class. The academy is great, but tough! Very structured. Every minute of the day seems valuable. PT is no joke... they really want you to be in the best shape of your life, so start now... there are those that are struggling. I've never done so many push-ups in my life.
As far as the school, the first week was orientation, paperwork, lectures, and such... the next 4 weeks are EMT school... very tough for those who don't study well, because you are covering so much in so little time. The text is EMERGENCY, which is a lot more detailed than Brady. The 2 weeks following that will be for skills practice and testing. Once EMT is finished we flow right into the fire training until Feb 9.
AFD is on top of there game. We get detailed weekly schedules, so you know what to expect, and the expectations are high. They won't allow slackers to get in the field. It's been a great time though! Good luck all.

I'm waiting on the second class as well. I have not heard anything new from AFD officially. However, I have heard second hand that a Lt in training said that the second class has been confirmed and it will start in mid to late feb. Remember that is only hearsay.

yeah i though i heard that it was approved...they make us do different pt stuff everyday...runs are avg 3-4 miles thats once or twice a week...different pt other days...the book is "Emergency care and transportation of the sick and injured" i suggest getting it and studying it...if you fail so many tests they fire you..no a couple didnt show and a few called in i guess...i would just run run run and read that orange emt book to prepare

Thanks for all the good info. It's nice to have someone that's already in class to talk to. Let us know if or when anyone fails out. I wondering how many are going to make it through the first class. AFD said that about 10% don't make it??? Good luck! You will have not problems if you make this the most important thing. Thanks again...
