Danbury Fire

**HenryChan** · 08-06-2005, 04:16 PM

Anyone here from the Danbury Fire Department?

**JCA1386** · 08-06-2005, 09:35 PM

not myself... Are you testing for them?

**HenryChan** · 08-06-2005, 10:51 PM

Yes, I am scheduled for the 22nd for their written. I was interested in knowing if this examination was to fulfill existing open positions or used to create a list for future positions.

I believe that they will be hiring 6 replacement as soon as possible and they are in the process of building Eng. co. 26, so that will require 12 positions. I believe those 12 will come on line end of year /early 2006.

From what I understand... this is the test to take.. even if they put you on the list. DFD expanded big time in the late 70's early 80's many retirements on the horizan.

Thank you for the information!

anyone know what their cpat requirment is. I called the woman and she wasnt sure if mine was new enough. Its from april so i thought it would be okay... she said she had to wait for the commission to vote on it. Thanks

The way its written on the letter for the written exam it seems that they will send you after a job offer is offered? It says "Before being accepted as a Danbury Firefighter, candidates.................... .....must..................... ..pass..................the... .............CPAT." lol whatever that means.

But the amount of firefighters that they will be hiring is pretty nice to hear.

with the 75.00 exam fee i wonder how many are on to take the exam.

**JCA1386** · 08-10-2005, 09:53 PM

ya im not too sure...i had a few friends that werent going to take it for that reason. the 75.00 i got that letter too...if you get hired to have to pass it? lol ya same thinking here. I would hope a current card within the last 6 months will work..The number they are hiring is a nice thing too... good luck to all that are taking it!

**JCA1386** · 08-13-2005, 06:07 PM

packet...anyone else get theirs and still not sure on the cpat instructions? im confused as to what to do

**spyonline** · 08-13-2005, 11:44 PM

What packet? the letter?

**JCA1386** · 08-14-2005, 11:27 AM

no i got another letter in the mail with a backround check form and a test manual thing...its sort of a test prep thing

**spyonline** · 08-14-2005, 02:06 PM

No I didnt get that info, when did you receive the packet?

**JCA1386** · 08-14-2005, 03:12 PM

i got it yesterday afternoon, it still says that same cpat info. So im assuming all cpat cards are void for danbury

**spyonline** · 08-14-2005, 06:21 PM

maybe i'll receive mine tomorrow, yea i bet if they offer employment, you will have to pass cpat again.

**JCA1386** · 08-14-2005, 10:36 PM

i guess we all could only hope to have that opportunity lol good luck guys

Anyone know how heavily they lean toward hiring from their Volunteer companies?

**crankshaft** · 08-23-2005, 12:10 AM

what did everyone think of the test??? seemed to be a few people there, what did they have two different test times??

**JCA1386** · 08-23-2005, 03:15 PM

test was good..tough the math section i thought. I guess they had two test times. Hopefully we will hear soon

**crankshaft** · 08-23-2005, 04:49 PM

yea some of the math was involved, there had to be around 200 people there no? damn city of Danbury made some money @ 75.00 a clip

**crankshaft** · 08-29-2005, 11:40 PM

Has anyone heard anything yet??

They had the dates for the oral examine on the sheet of paper, I didnt get a chance at seeing what they were, does anybody remember what the dates were for oral testing? thanks
