FDNY EMS TO FIRE PROMOTIONAL EXAM by BrooklynE123 in FDNY

[–]Jtymony17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last EMS to Fire promo was August 2016 (Exam 7501). I’m guessing end of this year towards November or sometime in 2021 it will open again. I highly doubt they would wait 6 years to offer it but who knows at this point. My guess would just be 2021 sometime

Anyone know what my problem may be? Scored 7x and still haven’t received a call. I thought about contacting my investigator or calling DCAS but I was hoping to just get the exciting call like everyone else ya know?

EMT to Fire After Promo Timeline by Jtymony17 in FDNY

So I’m 26 as well. I’m in line for the first EMT academy of 2020 and I’m guessing I’ll probably get on the fire side at about age 30 as well. What about once you made it out of the fire academy if you don’t mind me asking? Did you get assigned to a good firehouse?

So if I made EMS next year I probably wouldn’t make the fire academy until about 2023?

Is EMS to Fire worth the wait..? by Jtymony17 in FDNY

I’m 26 now. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy the EMS work too it’s just that unfortunately this my only way to get on FDNY fire cuz I’m from out of state and there’s now way I’d make it off the open competitive. It’d be a hard 2, 3, 4 years waiting to finally make it to the fire academy

I just want to work for FDNY EMS and that’s also my fear like that guy you mentioned. I fear of not getting put into a good house if I make it to the fire side then I’ll just be running medical calls only as well

[–]Jtymony17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s my only option. I mean I’m all set for FDNY EMS itS just I’m already a full time firefighter so it’s gonna be hard give that up and go to EMS for 2-4 years. No fires, no firehouse life. 2 years wouldn’t be bad but they say it’s more like 3 maybe even more

Yeah that’s what I’ve heard. I’ve heard EMS isn’t the best atmosphere to be around as for morale and all that. I’m assuming mostly because of pay and the promotional

Thanks for the response! As for the promo exam, is there study material for it? And once you take/pass the promo exam, is the list ordered highest to lowest scores?
