City Of Knoxville

[firemanmatt08]

any one go? i did, pretty good turnout for the size of that city.

[firemanmatt08]

anyone know how many they are hiring?

[brandon32251]

They are looking to hire 20. Also, this city is alot larger than you might be thinking.

[firemanmatt08]

now do they keep a waiting list or do they just do this for every class? and if do how long does it stay eligable?

[brandon32251]

you will remain on the list for 2 years if you are not chosen or at least interviewed.

[firemanmatt08]

just got called back for my physical. anyone know how many the written knocked out?

[ffmahone10]

what was your score? brandon can u email me again when you get a chance?

[firemanmatt08]

72 not good but going to make it up with the other steps in the process

[ffmahone10]

brandon...i improved my score...up to an 88 now...errrggg. that number scares me for so many reasons

[brandon32251]

Thats a good score. You can improve that with the PAT. Do what I said and practice those events and youll be fine. Also, Ill shoot you an email the next day im on shift. see ya man.

[firemanmatt08]

[firemanmatt08]

Looks like all you want to do is post, post and post and get your posting number up!

Why don't you PM these folks. I don't think FH likes all these uneccessery BS posts. This isn't a chat room you know.

Maybe the dept will notify you if you are going to the next step. Why go to work for a small dept with low pay anyway?

I am not perfect as you aren't. I was merely making a suggestion as not to keep on and on and very few are answering you.
I have old turnouts hanging in the garage, which probably are older than you.


My education includes the following:

Bachelors in Public Administration, Bachelors in Emergency Management, Associates in Fire Science, Certified Chief Officer, Certified Emergency Manager, etc, etc, etc.

By the way, why don't you apply for a job in a large metro department up here on the east coast and not in a small burg? More money to begin, better benefits, better working conditions, more fire activity and a great retirement package.

[firemanmatt08]

well im trying to get in anywhere because i dont care where it is now just as long as i reach my long life dream of being a paid firefighter and once i get in somewhere then in a year or 2 i might move to a better dept. or whatever i just want to fullfill my goal. and praying and trying harder everyday.

[ffmahone10]

jonee...what department are you on? because Knoxville is still a decent size city. It doesn't have to be FDNY or boston or Chicago or LA to be a good Fire department. What is your opinion/view on Charlotte?

[ffmahone10]

Got my interview packet in the mail last Friday! So excited about my first interview with a department!

[FireCowboy1]

I am looking at a corporate job in Knoxville from out of the State of Tennessee. I work part time for a fire department currently, and would love to stay involved if I move to Knoxville. Can anyone refer a few volunteer or part-time departments in the Knoxville area (preferably west side since I will be working in Oak Ridge)? If you can help out, just PM me so I don't hijack this thread. Thank you.
