I believe the Commission meets on the 10th so mostly likely shortly there after.

Although it can range anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 months, I wouldn't count on seeing anything for at least a month. In my experience the key to the civil service process is patience.

Does anyone have or know where I can get the EMT transition manual? I need it for a day or so just to brush up. Need to get it today so ordering online won't work. Thanks

Hey Seth, I have researched this topic to exhaustion. I have a few pieces of ink and this would be my advice to you: Yes, eventually it would fade a little due to the constant wear on that location but it wouldn't happen for a while (at least 10 years) and you can always get it retouched later on. I have only dealt with one shop in the area--The Mighty Horseman in Tarrytown-- the owner and principal artist, Chuck, does outstanding work and is decently priced. For a piece of body art you really don't to skimp. Remember, get what you pay for... and for something that small or just text it wont be that bad anyway. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions PM me

This is a topic That I hope a lot of people will get behind because I know many have the same questions. I wanted to know What people (especially career firefighters) use(d) to study for written entrance exams? Any tips and tricks used to gain an edge over the competition? And any general advice from our veteran firemen... There are a lot of study guides, books and online, That claim they will give you an edge... tough to know which ones actually will. Thank you in advance.

Where are they getting the staffing? Is it a municipal position or Do they work foe an outside agency?

i just hit the link and it doesn't show a listing for firefighter

I wanted to know if anyone has taken or is planning to take the paramedic program at SUNY Rockland Community College and can offer a little insight on the program? I am an Army Combat Medic looking to get my paramedic cert and heard that it was a pretty good program. Thanks

Well said!

Does anyone know what's going on in New Rochelle, regarding whether or not they will be hiring anyone? Thanks

Wanted to know if anyone has heard anything from Danbury regarding the test they gave last year? If so, where are they on the list? And does anyone know how many they are looking to hire, if any? I would appreciate any info on this. Thanks

D I received confirmation today that are in fact 14 positions open that they are trying to fill. Has anyone been called for an interview or.going through the process with them now?

Morning CPT, Has there been any change in status? Can you PM me with your response. I tried messaging you but it won't let me for some reason. Thanks.

I have an opportunity to be appointed by a career fire dept but I have to obtain a valid CPAT prior to the next interview. Does anyone know of anywhere I can take ASAP? Nothing is too far. I appreciate any help with this. Thanks Guys!

I would assume they go mutual aid to the surrounding career depts. (i.e. New Rochelle, White Plains, Yonkers, etc...)

I want to join a volunteer dept after a few out of the fire service. I live in New Rochelle now; not sure if the village of Mamaroneck or Town has a closer coverage area. Can't find any of this info online. Also do either or both allow the usage of POVs to the scene? Can anyone help? Thanks

How are you guys? Wanted to know if anyone has heard anything about the New Rochelle FD Exam that happened in March? Results or otherwise... also if anyone had any info on if they are actually hiring any guys? My unit is slated to deploy in November and wanted to have a plan before I go... Thanks

Same here.

Rgr that, Captain.. Thanks

LOL! That's great! I'm in the Army so I know all about that.. I was supposed to visit station 1 this morning because I signed up for the NRFD test but I couldn't make it because I called in to my unit last minute. Any way it's nice to see how far an organization has come. God willing I can have the honor of being a probie with NRFD some day.. thanks

Does anyone know where I can get the ICS 300 level course? And possibley the answers? I went on the FEMA website and they had them all except 300 and 400.. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks

thanks

Does anyone know if/when 60 control is giving another exam? Thanks

One of the best way of staying informed of exam announcements is this website. Many P.O and F.F, hopefuls such as yourself post them in this section when they find out about them. There are other websites such as 911hotjobs and usajobs and others that have announcements posted. The way some jurisdictions work is they have a blanket test, ie Westchester County offers a county wide P.O. exam, then local municipalities will pull off of that list. Other departments will administer there own test (New Rochelle, White Plains, Yonkers, Mt. Vernon...) so they can have total control over the entire process and collect the exam fees. In my opinion the best way to get into it is try volunteering at your local FD, if available, and get into emergency services that way. You'll see that it is not just a hobby for most people it's a lifestyle. Those are the people that can help you the most. I myself have been trying to get on the job for a long time now... what you have to understand about civil service is it all about the waiting game. Unless you have a big time "hook" (you know somebody) the entire process can be lengthy. Best way to ensure a good chance at employment with PD/FD, etc is to get a 100 on any test they offer and stay clean. I have had some success with the ARCO books while trying to prepare for a written but recently a found a site that is great. Firequiz.com offers tutorials on areas that are specific to that jurisdiction's test. It's not free but affordable. I hope this has been a help to you
