Firefighter

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

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

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.

Thankyou. Well I typically need2 take my inhaler soon after exercise like running. Would that count as "interfering during exercise" Idk the parameter or where the line is drawn. Is it that I need to be able to exercise without then needing inhaler?

so myself and some buddies were at the beach one night and had been drinking some beer and had a small bonfire going. So eventually the cops show up, detain us, and one of them put out the fire by taking a very long piss on it. isn't that illegal?

how much mechanical aptitude is required to be a fireman? I'm interested in being one. I like being physical, but I'm geared more toward social aspect or helping people.

I have taken the oral interview for my fire department and was wondering how long does the period usually lasts till you hear back from examiners regarding you moving on in the process and if you don't does that mean that you failed
