Westchester County Fire List

they are jerking people around as usual. they know who they want to hire before they even send anybody to the cpat. so if you have not interviewed you most likely won't be getting hired because the academy starts in 2-3 weeks

[spec 2]

Any clue what departments sent people for the cpat this last round? or better yet plans on hiring for this next class?

[spyda308 11]

March 23rd is the Next academy, heard 12-15 will be the number. Don't exactly know for who.

[dodff 1]

Has anyone on here been contacted for anything after passing the cpat?

[dodff 1]

Or know anyone who has been contacted

I believe a new career fire academy class starts this Monday at the WCDES Training Center. I know Peekskill hired 4 guys, and I heard Port Chester had hired a couple for this class as well.

[Fish98 0]

Are you positive peekskill hired 4?

[frost025 94]

Watch the port Chester village meeting a few weeks ago and it might enlighten you on all your questions.....

[PCFD ENG58 1,085]

Port Chester has 3 in this class with a new mayor last Tuesday,they got hired on Friday.

[dodff 1]

So how did Peekskill choose the guys? Shouldn't there have been at least an interview given to each guy who passed the cpat?

[PCFD ENG58 1,085]

Maybe Peekskill did like Port Chester, they hired the same that where ready for the last class but got screwed day's before it started.

[dodff 1]

You do have a point. If that's the case than it's understandable

[redtruck75 24]

How many questions on the test today had to be answered for the towns and villages, was it 60 or 105?

[bigfitz2004 19]

60 for towns and villages 75 questions for NewRo

[redtruck75 24]

Thank you.

[redtruck75 24]

If you were taking the towns and village test and answered 105 Questions do they take points off for not following directions?

[FF1 172]

if anything it would be a disqualification, not losing points but I don't know if they enforce that

[newsbuff 286]

If you can't read the simple damn directions on a written test, why should you be hired? If everyone complains that it's "sooooo easy", why is this even a question? Sounds like you don't know how to follow simple written instructions.

I am 60 years old and retired from the fire department and did not take the test. I agree with what you said but you still did not answer my question. All I am doing is looking for a answer, not what you think is the answer.

[bigfitz2004 19]

It is an automatic failure.

My apologies, I ASSumed given the nature of the question.

No, it is not a DQ or an automatic failure and no they do not take points off. As long as they answered the required 60 questions for the towns and villages, the only things anyone who did all 105 was waste time and energy on unnecessary questions...and yes...prove that they can not follow simple instructions...

I always take my info off Emergency services info boards. How about picking up the phone and calling Westchester County Human Resources.

[MFD82 0]

Results are out

[nydude2473 79]

We're they mailed or are they online?

Were*

[FF1 172]

I doubt thats true. they usually take 6 months + for every test ive ever taken

[FF1 172]

So i called Human Resources, as the original poster of "the results are out" comment should have.

As per HR, some time in October for the Westchester County Firefighter exam results to be certified and released.

[MFD82 0]

My apologies, it wasn't Westchester. Another dept that tested and cross filed that day.

[spyda308 11]

Was it just me or did anyone else see on march 23rd, the news posting of 4 New Peekskill FireFighters being sworn in and now its been taken down? And as an additional question, if you're sworn in, are you still hired?
