All the engines or just the single engine houses? All North Ops units?

#11

State wide… up to the units what stations get the 4-0 staffing, but it’s 1/3 of the fleet.

#12

15 posts were split to a new topic: The meaning of 3-0 or 4-0 staffing??

Calls are going out for the 4th body on the engine (out stations only) or single engine houses just like how it was for the “drought funding” last year. Our unit should be getting 24 new hires starting Monday . Sounds like not many people are answering either.

Supposed ot be state wide and for all single engine stations

#34

Correct, statewide for the single engine houses. They are scrambling to get people. I believe they’ve exhausted the top of the list and will go into the next group.

#35

Hmmm interesting. Maybe not top tier applicants now. Not trying to be offensive but almost will seem like now their will hire anyone to fill the spots.

#36

Possible regional rehire academy I would guess.

Where do you recommend fire departments find entry level applicants in this current job market. I’m not being a smart a… I really want to know so I can go give them applications. Lol

All departments comprise a list of applicants and place them according to their score from whatever tests or qualifications are required. Just because someone isn’t at the top of a list doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t a good hire.
