Fairfax Co Fire and Rescue
I hve successfully tested for the Fairfax Co. Fire and Rescue Dept. I received a letter back in the middle of May stating my successful completion. If there are any FFX Co. ff's out there, can you give me a little guidence on how the process works? I would also like to know how many recruit classes there are a year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

it honestly all depends on a number of things how long it'll take for fairfax.... i'm applying to their pd in not too long which is about the same length and i can take people up to a year to go through the whole process.
The thing that takes the longest is the background investigation. If you've been living in the same place for a decent amount of time/haven't lived in too many diferent places it'll take a lot less time.
Good luck :) I volunteer with them and it really is a great department to work for either in a volunteer or paid capacity!

It just sucks waiting. Especially when the testing process took almost a year. Hopefully it will be worth it.

I guess what I meant to say was that I made it through all the testing. Good luck with the PD thing. Have been an officer for 6 years. It's OK. Used to really love it, but I guess I'm just fed up with small town politics. Fire is in my blood.

Congrats! I recently moved to Fredericksburg and saw Fairfax was hiring. Got some info from the Firehouse Expo in Baltimore. Good luck.
