Depends on company. And agency that handles the grading

Do you ever get called over to other countries where there is a fire raging and they don't have enough firefighters?

Asked by EL almost 5 years ago

Not me personally

Interested in recruiting process. Gathered there's orientation, cpat & written test. If pass those, then an interview. Is this correct & please fill me in. When is the medical test? What if have asthma(inhaler daily)? Shoulder tear from dislocations?

Asked by Winston about 4 years ago

If you can function without your asthma acting up and is your shoulder injury repaired it is possible You can also look at a career with EMS,

Shoulder answer please. Also,Seeking clarification on "function without asthma acting up". Inhaler used more than 1x a day typically & used after exercise like running. Thoughts/knowledge on this asthma working with trying to be firefighter? Thankyou

I work with several FF that had asthma. As long as your meds keep it from interfering during exercise you could achieve your goal.

I wanna become a firefighter in the future but I have an amputated foot( I can still function like everyone else can) I just want to know does having an amputated foot disqualify me from becoming a ff cause I count join the military because of it

There is currently a double amputee firefighter I believe up North. So yes if you can do the job dont let it atop you.

Shoulder not yet surgically repaired. Can I take the CPAT first, then surgery, then academy to become firefighter? Idk the best order. Or do i need to have surgery b4 begin process of becoming firefighter. When in order of process is the medical exam

Asked by Winston about 4 years ago

I would have the repair done before you start. Because they will not let you do the cpat with a known injury.
