Bid your time get all in an uproar does nothing but cause trouble, Being to anxious can get you seriously injured or killed.
in my dept. we were issued pagers and allowed to go on calls after we got put on. we had to go through 13 weeks of training before we got put on. once we were on we can go on calls but we are not allowed away from the trucks for a structure fire. we could go up and walk around the house once the fire was out but nothing more till we got our 36 cert.
36 whole hours of training? I'm sorry, but here the minimum is Firefighter II, and Candidates have to have completed module B (2/3 of the way through the course) in order to respond and run calls. Don't sweat it though, I'm sure you'll be allowed to run calls soon enough, for now just concentrate on learning all that you neeed to learn. Good luck Brother!
Has anyone found it at all interesting that the guy who started this thread has not been contirbuting since his original post? We are all preaching to the choir and wasting our breathes from what I can see.
Well- You certainly wouldn't last here!! To ride- let's start with CPR, Bloodborne Pathogens, ICS 700, In House Suppression Training (24 hour class) No SCBA or interior work allowed with 24 hour class!. To respond and function on the fire ground add FF I (102 hours) and Haz Mat Ops. And that doesn't get you on the EMS side of things if that is where you want to go (since 80% or so of our calls are EMS in some fashion). If you really want to be in this service- SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, and LEARN!!!!! Quit your crying and get with the program.
It's only been a few days. Not everyone checks their e-mail every day. I do though! : )
He's been on since he started it. I think he got the answer that he wasn't looking for.
