What's the staffing like?
4 on engine, 4 on truck?
Any "bonus" points besides veterans points?
Thanks again!

Minimum 4 on all Engines and Hook&Ladders, 6 on the squads.
Education/experiance might help you a little.
Ive been getting some PMs regarding city employees getting preference over non-city employees....
THIS HAS CHANGED!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
City employees NO LONGER get hired over non-city employees regardless of their score. They will get 5pts. added to their final score only.
50/50 hiring (1 black for 1 white) is GONE. Although that was pretty much the demographics of my class.
Age limit is 18-33. Previously there was not an age cap.

Hey
Does Stlfd hire EMT's (not wishing to become firefighters)?
Bob - One of your guys left to come to our department in early April. I've heard he's doing a good job.
It's good to hear some of the new guidelines on the test. It used to be nearly impossible to get hired without transferring to the FD from a different city department.
Yes they do, we still hire EMT's/Medics thru the EMS Division. But, the last time I checked EMT starting pay was pretty crappy.Quote:

ya, know if we could only get residency lifted, we would be doing great!
Is there no oral board? I was looking through the website and saw no mention of an oral board...
I noticed that too. I had one when I tested. I'll have to get back to you on that one.Quote:

With the minimum age requirement recently lowered to 18.....they needed to extend the deadline so the young bucks applying could get their high school diplomas in hand so they could apply for the job.
That sucks. More competition for me. : (Quote:

Sorry....
I forgot all about it....I'm at the firehouse tomorrow, and I will attempt to look into that.
Cool, thanks
Well I threw my hat in. We shall see.
Appreciate all the info fieldseng. I still need to do a ride a long, maybe this summer.
Well, it's about the last day for the applications so just want to give a good luck to everyone who's going out for the testing.
I put in a application hopefully I will do good on the test we shall see.
Good Luck To All!!!!!
Just wondering if anybody has gotten any of their information yet or has heard anything? This is the first test I've applied for and am just anxious to hear anything, wanting to make sure I didn't screw up the application or anything somehow:/
