I could send you copies of the tech colleges entry level parts 1 and 2 test if you were interested.

We based ours on a mix of questions from recruit prep books. Pick up a copy of Barrons or the many other books like it . They have great sample tests that you can use to put together something of your own.

Why would you test for membership in a Volunteer FD? You're going train them anyway.

I guess they do things differently in your area. My FD got taken to court for failing to except a probationary member and giving her the chance to fail. Cost us a lot of money and her nothing. Now new people coming in are proposed with just a 1st initial and last name.

We don"t "vote" members into our department. Our process is much like a career FD. We advertise, accept applications, conduct a basic written and physical test, then interviews... Candidates are selected based on their overall performance, and some variables such as daytime availibility.

Probie period lasts a year, and they can be dismissed at any time.

And I tried to politely decline their invation , but that got me "encouraged" to attend even more. They have me scheduled for electro shock next.
