Awesome man. Congratulations. Now set up a deferred comp.

Can't stress that enough. County pays 3% of your salary into the account. Even if you dont contribute (which you should!), they put 3% of your salary in. Free money!!!

Just out of curiosity, being from out of state but holding a paramedic license, coule you apply at HCFR as a single role paramedic and evetually transfer over to the fire side? I noticed that they take applications for paramedic only, was wondering since my fire certs are from out of state that I could get hired as a paramedic and eventually go to the academy and obtain my ffII in FL

Thanks guys

Not sure how it is now, used to be 3 years after you achieve standalone status (roughly a year, 1196 hours on the box you could test), then I heard just one year. But FMI us a promotion for HCFR now, not just automatic.
Give them a call, look them up on facebook. They are very accessible and ready to answer questions.

the rumor is 10 to replace those who didn't make it through orientation over the last few hires.

Yikes. So it will basically be all reserves then since they get first preference.
