Thats the number who made the list. The total number who came out for the test was around or above 10,000.

Plenty of people take the written and never show for the physical agility portion, some fail and never get a shot at the agility.

Applications will be available from the website as soon as the filling period opens. There are also locations that you can go to to pick up apps. And if thats not enough, you can even call and have them send you an app. But they won't do a thing for you till the filling period starts.

Does FDNY have seperate lists for residents and non-residents, hiring the residents first like Yonkers?

You are given 5 extra points on the written test if your are a NYC resident.

This is a link to the FDNY web site to check.

You can also check on NYC DCAS web site. They handle all the applications.

there isn't an age limit anymore right?

I.E. if you were 38, you could still apply to take the exam?

[ny10570 745]

You can not have reached your 29th birthday by the start of the application period. You can however can recieve an age credit of up to six years for each year of active duty military service. So if you have 6 or more years in the military your cut off is 35. But sorry, 39 is too old.
