    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.

    HCFR only hires firefighter/emt and paramedic positions now. both can apply for firemedic whenever there is an opening.

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