Yonkers, NY - Firefighter - (Closing: 12/29/2011)

[Guest romboutfire]

i heard from people that YFD has never hired anyone off the non-resident list and that they have only hired off of the resident list. The other thing is that you have too show them ur drivers liescense with a yonkers address.

It's nice to see a fire department with a starting salary such as the one listed. These guys actually secured a starting salary that is entering the realm of a livable wage in Southern Westchester. Well done by the local.

I dont know the details in Yonkers, but in New Rochelle the preference is dictated in the Federal Court Decree (vulcan case). Yonkers also has a similar decree (but I dont know if has residency in it).

Barry our Vulcan decree is similar to New Rochelle in that regard

What else do they look for aside from your ID and snoop around looking for you?

Phone bills, utility bills,license and car registrations, etc. YPD does a pretty thorough residency check. They also check in with the neighbors of the address you have given them. If you don't live where you say you live, I don't recommend trying.
