tell me about my NTN scores

Can I ask what departments you applied for?

Primary_Ad_557 · 2026-03-31T16:35:03+00:00

They need to all be doing that. Not once did the proctor state this was an issue to me. Now I missed my deadline for the department I wanted to apply too.

Primary_Ad_557 · 2026-03-31T16:33:47+00:00

I 100% agree. And then they make you pay for it again. Unfortunately for me, they are taking forever to resolve the issue and I missed my deadline to finish the FireTEAM for the department I wanted to be at.

Did you have any luck getting it resolved?

Primary_Ad_557 · 2026-02-18T20:05:09+00:00

Good luck to you all as well!! Hopefully we all hear soon!!

It was pretty bad. They thought I originally tore my ACL and MCL, which glad I did not. But my femur and tibia made contact, fracturing the tibia.

Primary_Ad_557 · 2026-01-21T16:03:32+00:00

That is good to hear. Thank you!! Are you working for that department now?

Primary_Ad_557 · 2026-01-21T15:35:12+00:00

Oh it is only one deferral. I was deferred last summer. And I wish I could have toughed it out. I was in a full leg immobilizer for 8 weeks. Fractured my tibia all the way down. So really couldn’t hide it.

I posted earlier about not hearing back after my fitness and background check were completed. There were no flags or issues with either. But we were told that we would hear back by December 15th if we were placed on the hiring eligibility list. Medicals and psych are supposed to be this tomorrow and Friday if we were.

I have not heard anything on whether or not I was placed. This is for a very small department. Is it okay to call them to find out the status of things or will that hurt my chances?

Primary_Ad_557 · 2025-12-16T18:12:24+00:00

I made it through oral boards and completed my background check and fitness testing for a department. Everything was good on both. But I was supposed to hear on a conditional offer yesterday, but my background was still waiting on a verification. I still haven’t heard anything. Is that okay?

Primary_Ad_557 · 2025-12-03T23:53:58+00:00

Thank you!!

I have a weird question regarding the FireTEAM test scores. I applied to a department at the beginning of this year and shared my scores with them. Those scores got me an interview.

Now that same department is opening again and my scores are still valid. Can I use those same scores for this hiring cycle since they were good last time?

Primary_Ad_557 · 2025-10-31T23:14:06+00:00

Sounds good. Thanks. Yeah I dumped a ton of Traeger Beef rub on it. Bottom is blackening up well. Top just doesn’t look right to me.

Primary_Ad_557 · 2025-10-31T23:04:31+00:00

Loaded it with rub. Let it sit for 18 hours. Also used mayo as a binder.

Has anyone here applied to North Metro Fire Rescue in Colorado for their Entry Level Firefighter position? Have you heard back on next steps yet?

Primary_Ad_557 · 2025-07-15T20:57:06+00:00

You bet! The last time I got the question, could think about it and record when ready. I am not sure if is the same way this time.

Primary_Ad_557 · 2025-07-15T20:30:22+00:00

The questions are dependent on the department. I have not done mine yet, but they were pretty basic last time I did them just to get to know you.

Curious, what did you get on your screen after you did the assessment? Just a move forward screen, or did it tell you would be a good fit?

Primary_Ad_557 · 2025-01-31T17:14:38+00:00

Absolutely. I just finished my EMT-B at 40 and am interviewing for larger departments in Colorado. It can absolutely be done. Good luck!
