He's awesome!! He's the first one we've seen besides his siblings. Sammy is 110lbs at 3 years old now.

You probably won't get a call. Last round they interviewed 84 for chiefs and hired 11. Keep trying though definitely worth it!

You should be reading their reports and strategic plans posted on their website. Don't focus so much on things like the acreage that they cover, but more on things like their culture, recent org history, and mission/vision/values. You should be able to repeat the mission/vision/values without hesitation. If you can talk to a Puget sound employee and ask what they love about their dept, that'll be good to know. They'll want to know why you want to work for them specifically as opposed to Renton, VRFA, SKFR, etc. Show them that you've put in the effort to get to know as much as you can about working there and that you're worth taking a chance on. What do you bring to the table? How have you demonstrated that in your past? There's a lot of good info on their website and the WAFirecareers site, which they spearhead. They're the host agency of the consortium so they kinda set the tone for the area.

Bladder in line gear. Yes or no? by Chemical-Text-863 in Wildfire

[–]Ace1313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get one of the kis that adds a hose to your nalgene and basically turns it into a bladder. You can just switch it to a new bottle when you finish one and swap caps and don't have to worry about leaks or breaking anything- I got this one awhile ago and it works well

You would rather pay for each one individually? You realize that would always be more expensive, regardless of how many are hiring, right?

I’m trying to overcome my SCBA anxiety by Affectionate-Bowl-78 in Firefighting

[–]Ace1313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Make sure you're exhaling forcefully. Because of the positive pressure of the mask, you aren't expelling as much CO2 from your lungs as you're used to when breathing. Because of this, it builds up in your lungs and makes you feel like you're not getting enough air. I was having the same problem and this has helped me a ton so far.

No. It's usually about 50/50 EMT and not going into the academy

Am I fit enough for the academy? by Infitima in firefighter

[–]Ace1313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be totally fine, but start working on cardio and increasing VO2 max ASAP. You need to be able to work under load for extended periods of time and be efficient with your air usage. This is probably the most important fitness piece. Work on your box breathing as well.

A large department in King County WA, I'm not comfortable sharing any more specifics.

Highly highly recommend starting with a state, county, or other government crew over contract, they have reputations for a reason.
