I just checked the cpat site, it says the fall session is closed, does that mean the January one will be eligible for the exam?

whats the salary and work schedule like?

When's the next filing?

When Does the new test come out?

it should be turned into an ems station.

Random Photo I found. I think Station was featured in a 1970's movie, I think it was called "Firehouse"?

Thanks for the info. I just read the article, cool stuff, when I do an LA trip to visit my soon to be wife Jessica Alba 😉 , then I'll stop by haha

Is that job on Elliot ave?

Thanks, how bout the pay?

What does WestPort FD have Resource wise?

I saw the opening for the exam but was just curious, what is the Job like there? For example, starting pay? How many FF's per rig/How many Units? Thanks

RIP, we got it from here. Remember, "He was a hero for what he did everyday, not because of death."

is the promotional every 2 or 4 years?

I'd be her partner

Very Nice looking truck. Looks very similar to the Boss Trucks on My job in the city....I normally wouldn't chime in here but I must say, (with all due respect to the EMTs and Paramedics at Empress, some of whom I've had to pleasure of working with), Yonkers Fire should take over EMS. Both because of citizen safety and Firefighter safety. Speaking of the budget, it would be beneficial for the City of Yonkers Fire to control EMS because then the City would recieve the money from EMS runs. Also, incident command wise and for possible expansion of the Department's Capabilities, it would make sense. Most Career Departments around the country are Fire Based EMS systems. Also for those who believe The PD side should control EMS, I call BS because PD is a Patrol agency, FD is a Responder Agency, FD has more capability to handle the Tiered Response. Lastly but not least, to the Senor Brother Firefighters who don't want the Buses in Quarters with them, thats fine, Just because Fire takes over EMS Doesnt mean the buses need to be in quarters with them. There's other reasons, but I think I've done enough ranting here. All I'm saying is Yonkers Fire should take a look at the way the Brothers just south of them operate.....just my 2 cents Thank You.

dropped off my application today
