JK dont pay attention to smart ****s. They look down on everybody even tho they probies themselves.
A lot of firefighters are humble, nice people, willing to help. But i hate those "firefighters" or "wannabes" that think they're above everybody, and ready to spit at anybody when they have a chance. I sometimes wonder how those people got on, lottery?
Anyway Good luck to you bro
I would try north. Thornton, northglenn, henderson,reunion maybe even brighton. It shouldn't take you more than 20 mins to get to the grounds. Brighton tho might take a lil longer, but I bet that would be one of the cheapest places. If you go Aurora , you most likely gonna hit traffic all the time.Quote:

Anyone else live in the Los Angeles area still in the running? Getting anxious waiting on a interview date.
Hoping we hear something about interviews this week. Seems like we would have to start wrapping things up soon.
How much are tickets going to cost for the trip to denver?

Has anybody heard when the civil service commission may start to send out the emails or letters for the departmental interviews? I was figuring that it might be this week since the academy is starting may 11th. The last time i spoke with Mr. Wilson he did not have a time frame.
Anyone here been to 1999 Broadway? Curious how many steps it is per floor...
I'm assuming you meant March 11? No word of interviews yet, although as of this morning my status has been updated. I would like to think we'll hear something real soon.Quote:

As of today, my status is "Current Department Interview". Here's what it says:
As part of the Certification to the Manager of Safety, you must undergo an interview by the Denver Fire Department. The Manager of Safety will not review any files until an interview and recommendation is made by the Oral board panel. You will receive notification for your departmental interview appointment.
Get your answers ready men! Boxers of Briefs?
Congratulations! Mine does not say that yet. I guess i will find out soon enough if i get an interview. If you don't mind me asking what was your ranking?Quote:

I though about calling Mr Wilson, but don't want to bug him.
