    Hey, I saw you are a Fairfax firefighter. I am trying to get hired there now and just wandering if you have any advice? I have had all my tests done for about a year now but have not heard anything back. I also have some more fire classes that are not on my file but i dont know what what number to call to give them that info. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
