The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....
are you national certified firefighter 1 and 2? EMT-Basic or higher??
have you passed a CPAT test recently?
I only needed to be a first responder, so no to the EMT. I don't think it was a national certificate, but I don't know how that works. I took a regular fire acadamy and also an ARFF acadamy, then the anual testing/recertification (along with computerized tests throughout the year along with law enforcement tests)

I figured it to be more complicated, I haven't seen any firefighting opportunities without the EMT part. Not opposed, but probably better suited for Law Enforcement.
I did like being able to say I was a fireman while out and about, public perception being what it is and all.
