my hard drive in my computer went out so i have been offline for a few weeks but in that time i did a lot of things to da ranger and i became a fire-fighter undefined

 

what kinda firefighter?

 

Are you a volunteer?

 

the kind that fights fires

 

Congrats Man! You will love th job!

 

it is the best hard a hell but the best

 

there are a lot of great civic organizations out there example lions elks etc.. but there is no better service than help your community when it is at its worst. hats off to fire and ems departments..

 

THats awesome man. As soon as i get outta the Marine Corps im gonna go be a Fire Fighter for Fort Worth Texas. I loved being a volunteer and want to get back into it. I just have to wait 4 more years before the Corp will let me go. lol

 

duh.......a wild land firefighter? a volunteer firefighter? a paid firefighter?

 

im in great shape but 4hours of fire fighter test i was in tears my body was dead i lost 15 pounds that day in sweat i was in football wrestling the guard not a thing can touch the fire fighter test

 

been there done that.

 

You still haven't answered the questions yet either.

 

dont ya love it when that happens.......

the agility test isn't all that bad.........just got to be able to run while carrying weight

 

yea our test was 11 objectives, under 7 minutes. all while wearin a weight vest to equal turnouts and scba. got mine in just under 5 mins.

 

dang you guys were lucky.....we had to do everything in full turn out gear and scba....while on air.......

 

that was to get in, but we did do it again in full and on air. it was well worth it though. im now nationally cert. and can go anywhere in the country for a job. not many other states allow that i believe. will be the same with emt by january.

 

The firefighter essentials training is cake compared to specialized training. Most of the essentials class is common sense and to see if you have the will to do what is required. When you start getting into HazMat Ops, Brush Fire, and Vehicle Rescue training it gets a lil tricky. I've got hundreds of hours of training and enough certs to fill a small landfill. I know alot of guys that have the same training as I have and would rather get buckets of kitty litter than get the Hurst/Lukas tools out on mva's. Training is training my friend. Run a couple fatal mva's and a few multiple alarm structures then tell us how tough it is. Kudos on the training though. It is only the tip of the iceberg my friend.


[EDIT- QUOTE FROM FX4 REMOVED - FireRanger]

 

I look forward to it.I had to do hazmat and vehicle rescue training the next day what level are you i have my fire fighter 1,2and 3 all thats left is 4 will have it done by the new year i hope

 

ummmmmm i think you are mistaken....there is no such thing as firefighter 3 & 4............and if you just got a job as a firefighter...you by no way can have your basic training, and firefighter 1 & 2 done.......please get a clue!

 

In Pa it's call Essentials A, B, C, and D. I have my Firefighter I on top of all the essentials classes. All that means is more advanced firefighter training and the ability to get a city(paid) job. You can get your FFII but it's really not neccessary unless you work at an Army/Naval Depot. I got most of my certs by the time I was 18 since I was an emancipated adult and able to take any training an 18 y/o could take.

 

we had to be in full gear and on air during basic and during ff 1 & 2 class.....i am going to take a first responder class in a few months after college......

the coolest thing i did was take a class at a local paid department....they have a fire school every august with about 20 different classes through the month......i took a class call "dance with the devil".....they light a room on fire and get it to almost flash point then you have to put it out......there were 4 different teams of 4......there was a paid team that couldn't get it out.......it was kinda scary cause we had to go in and help them...they almost got trapped.......it started to flash over them.........

 

im a wdmff paid

 

in indiana you have mandatory training, then basic training, then the firefighter 1 & 2 classes....then you go to fire officer 1 & then 2, then on to fire trainer 1 & 2..........you have to take them in that order........here you have to be a firefighter 1 & 2 to go on to fire officer training.......

...i like the new federal law that you can get everything to transfer to any state of the union....

 

i was a volunteer firefighter for 8 m have my CPR,EMT C ,FIRE SCIENCE then my ff1,2,3 then a paid job. did not mean to be a *** you just pissed me off

 

emt c?
