How many years do you have with your dept?, how long have you been in your profession?, etc, etc. tell us a lil about your self.
I'm 28, I work for the second largest fire dept in the nation, CalFire. I'm a full time, but seasonal Fire Fighter I. We're a all risk dept. a Meaning I can be dispatched to a MVA, a medical call, a commercial fire, a chem spill, a wildland fire, etc. this is the beginning of my 7th season fire season. I usually get laid off in October or November then hired back on in May or June because our fire season usually runs June-the end of October. This year has been weird due to the drought and we've had fires all winter long. We got hired back early this year.
Our hiring process is extremely competitive and to promote takes a refi cupolas amount of certifications to be even acnowledged. Also a AS degree and a class B driver license is just about a must to promote above the FF level. I'm in the process of trying to get all the certs and licènses I need to become a full time perminant engineer.
