City of Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Hiring.

[ColoradoDave]

...I got my call.... I WAS ASKED TO MOVE FORWARD!!!! All the time, testing, and patience have finally paid off. LVF&R was my #1 choice for the Las Vegas valley, and I can't wait to become a part of the Department. I have been checking Firehouse.com literally everday in hopes that there would be some piece of information regarding LVF&R. Would be great to hear from those who are moving on as well,...we'll be meeting at one point or another! Good luck to everyone who still hasn't heard from LVF&R yet. And good luck to those who've moved on, and are pursuing other Departments!

Congrats man!

Congratulations! I haven't received a call yet. Trying to stay optimistic, but am beginning to think that all calls have been made to those who are moving on. Would you happen to know if that is true?

Thank you! I honestly have no idea about where LVR&R is in their call-backs....I spend the better-part of yesterday wondering if they were calling those who made it first, or those who didn't make it first. Were they calling in alphabetical order? No idea. However my last name is in the last third of the alphabet, and I got my call around 2:30 yesterday afternoon.

I know it wasn't alphabetical, but not sure how the order was decided. Seems like there were a lot of people that passed so far.

Great! How/why do you think it seems a lot have passed?

[sprtan]

It's a small sample size (5) but everyone I know was moved on to the cpat.

[nnfra200302]

Well... Its a no go for me, feeling a little bummed right now. Good luck to those who are moving on. Time for me to move on to the next test.

[sprtan]

So any update on how many moved on or the expected spots in the academy?

[FireSpin]

Does anyone know when the final list will be posted?

I'm not sure about the list, but I am scheduled for my Chief's Interview in a few weeks. Has anyone else had an interview, or been scheduled for one?

When I turned in my CPAT last week, the woman in HR got out a list of sorts, and wrote some of my contact info in my 'spot'. Judging by the number of pages (4), and the approximate number of people on each page (I didn't get a clear look at it, just a quick glance), it looked like there were anywhere from 60-80 on the list she had. So I'm figuring this interview is not just a size-me-up-by-the-Chief interview, but also an opportunity for him to make last-minute decisions as to who is hired or not?

[sprtan]

That's pretty close to the numbers I have heard about how many candidates were left but on the lower end of that range. Interviews started on Monday of this week. Not sure if they will actually "rank" people or just pull people as they need them based on certs or other criteria.

[tactics]

Guess the info on how many they are going to hire, and the start date of the academy is now available. Anyone?

[Thank You 4 Your Time]

Had my Chief's interview this morning... It went well, in my estimation, but was it well enough is yet to be told. No new information, only more rumors from others who were interviewing. One person did say their friend is interviewing on 5/17, so today is obviously not the last of 'em. Good luck to everyone who has made it this far...we'll find out who moves forward soon enough.

[dumpsdad]

[dumpsdad]

[sprtan]

The current list is set to expire June 2nd. Last time it was extended by 6 months and I have not heard any rumors of them starting a new hiring process yet.

Hang in there! You never know when it will pay off.

Anyone receive their CPAT reimbursement check yet? I turned my CPAT info in on 4/24, and have yet to get a check....

Congrats to all who made it, were you informed as to which academy you're in?
