I agree with your point but the scenario you've presented is vastly different then the scenario I answered.
 
In this case the First Selectman and Fire Chief have informed the citizens of what low staffing could mean for them for a few years now.  The Firefighters are asking for the citizens to let the BET know where they stand.     
 
 
 
 

 
First "two in, two out."  goes out the window with a report of people trapped.  Hopefully the adult telling you people are inside should have an idea where the people are, start there.
 
None of this should be a surprise to a firefighter working at a understaffed dept.

Look we know firefighters get certain cancers more frequently then the general population. There are all sorts of tips to reduce our exposures to known carcinogens that we as firefighters can do to protect ourselves. From the simple wash your face/neck/hands on scene before leaving a fire, maybe a gross decon of your gear.
I think as firefighters we are owed a second set of gear, including hoods and gloves. We should be given the time to shower after a call, you should have a second uniform at the station to change into after a shower. I can't imagine what one Cancer diagnosis costs my city ( and by the way we've had way too many where is work)in terms of the Healthcare costs, the overtime. I'm willing to bet with some steps that might cost a little but more now ( secodn set of gear, time to get clean) we could reduce cancer for our guys, and save the city money of the long term.
In the future maybe we should think about proper firehouse design to reduce cross contamination in our living areas but that's an issue that will be taken up I'm sure as new firehouses are built and stations are remodeled.

Then we redesign firehouses, that's less of a big deal then the big "C".

With all due respect, and I mean that, between City of Stamford, Belltown, Turn of River, Long Hill, Springdale, am I missing anyone? you had to get a donation from Burlington?

Why? The guys on the line aren't responsible for the city playing games with a test. And if you think Stamford is the only one that has ever played these games I have a bridge to sell you.

Gotta love fireman math...

I'd call the lawyer listed in this article, if I was getting screwed over.

Funny isn't it, the city conditionally hires 8 volunteers who took no test, arranges CPAT for them, and is now being sued in federal court by a volunteer for age discrimination.
The next hiring process gives a test, only releases scores to people who hold CPAT cards, schedules 45 interviews, cancels interviews and then claims test was biased.

door pop and they can get out is an extrication.
Person is pinned/impaled by pedals/dash ect that is an entrapment.

It's not Stamford, I'm betting there is a test.

I would assume not everyone is testing at the same time. Parking won't be an issue, but if it is Turn of River station two is across the street, they are only there during St Leo's Fair so the lot will be empty.

third bullet point on application addresses your question.

The city writes a check and a few months later the truck shows up. How does it work by you?
