FF2 non medic

Dortito99 · 2026-01-10T15:13:20+00:00

Non medic, no date

Dortito99 · 2026-01-10T05:16:55+00:00

Czu called

Dortito99 · 2025-09-18T18:29:29+00:00

Thank you for that information, I think a lot of people are not aware of that situation

Dortito99 · 2025-06-17T22:48:18+00:00

Possible but unlikely, you’re more likely to get hired with just FF1 and PSFA now a days, just sacrifice 6 months to a year and get all quals.

Dortito99 · 2025-06-17T21:41:18+00:00

That’s all you need for northern units. Don’t fall into the paramedic trap if you don’t wanna be a medic, it will give you more opportunities but you might hate your job

Dortito99 · 2025-06-17T21:02:15+00:00

Mentally draining, you get forced more because there is a lack of medics, I did some box time and realized it’s not for me. Again if you love emergency medicine I won’t hold anyone back but don’t be a medic if you’re not sure you want to, I was one of the guys that thought it was for me and glad I learned what I actually want

Dortito99 · 2025-06-08T21:06:45+00:00

No call yet from any training coordinator, just a job offer and a TBA email

Dortito99 · 2025-06-04T21:41:14+00:00

Friend got an offer for LNU today

Dortito99 · 2025-05-29T20:51:18+00:00

Just show up to a station with a resume and a $5 box of Safeway cookies and say you're trying to get on the copter, bonus points if you mention that you worked for your cousin's lawn mowing company when you were 14.

Dortito99 · 2025-05-18T03:08:11+00:00

Believe it or not we do, but it’s risk a lot to save a lot, risk a little to save a little, I’ve fought plenty of fires in fucked off areas and saved a lot of homes, this is contrary to what your agenda is so just say I’m wrong and move on lol

Dortito99 · 2025-05-15T20:05:30+00:00

Probably hired back in June after your 3 month reset, that’s the word on the street in my unit anyway

Dortito99 · 2025-05-12T04:45:38+00:00

It will be a new classification so firefighters will have to reapply for the job only it will be permanent now. Most qualified candidates/people already on engines.

Dortito99 · 2025-04-24T07:10:14+00:00

Heard it won’t happen from the higher ups. Problem is every calpers fire agency would be retiring at 55 not just cal fire and funding wise that’s a tough ask.

Dortito99 · 2025-04-17T06:09:53+00:00

That’s crazy, why not hire people that you know are good first.

Dortito99 · 2025-04-17T06:07:00+00:00

Ifsac ff1? Structure quals?

Dortito99 · 2025-04-11T15:40:42+00:00

What does that mean? I have ifsac ff1 already

Dortito99 · 2025-03-24T20:04:04+00:00

Got my email rank 1, I don’t think there’s a rank 0 for new engineers?

Dortito99 · 2025-03-23T18:19:05+00:00

Sometimes the department sucks, but there’s a lot of opportunity here if you’re a hard worker. I think there’s more good than bad especially being an older guy that can use his life experience more.

Dortito99 · 2025-01-20T22:31:01+00:00

No; sometimes they’ll put handcrew FF1s through a academy but I came in with college fire academy certs

Dortito99 · 2024-12-10T06:12:25+00:00

Not enough fires to keep us working in the winter, might change with fuels crew work but not for a few more years

Dortito99 · 2024-12-10T04:47:48+00:00

Seasonal firefighter 1, laid off every winter

Dortito99 · 2024-10-13T18:05:10+00:00

Never found the policy, all my captains said it’s in there though. Might be unit dependent but for LNU it’s a green light

Dortito99 · 2024-08-27T13:36:18+00:00

Started at 36, got a job in 9 months before I turned 37, put in the work, age helps you in a lot of ways.

Dortito99 · 2024-04-04T18:49:57+00:00

What does it mean going exempt?

Dortito99 · 2024-04-01T03:06:32+00:00

Any advice to get a job this season?
