Hey!! Quick question: any exceptions to the age rule? I know a paramedic who's currently a full-time firefighter who might like to apply but he'll be 37 in April. Just curious! Best of wishes to the new hires and everybody stay safe!!

Wow! That's about 200 People they're looking to hire. That's great news, usually they only hire 30-40 cadets. Good luck to you all on the exam! I look forward to training and possibly dragging a hose with you guys in our great city.

As someone who would qualify for a certified trainee, what are my options? Should I apply for this position or wait, if so, when will a certified position open?
