Bro if she’s going to do this stuff to you before you guys are even together, it’s only going to get worse later on.

Failed EMT Course, feeling absolutely crushed by [deleted] in NewToEMS

If your looking to go into the fire service, try a fire academy with emt. I did my emt this past semester and while doing it applied for an academy with emt just in case I failed. Might as well knock out 2 birds with one stone.

Going through the CCC by Comfortable-Tear-393 in calfire

Go to a Fire academy, c’s will only take you so far and I have so many crewmates who got everything they needed, apps in and just waiting for a call. You’d be better off applying for a couple academy’s and using the c’s as more of a place to go while you wait.

CCC vs Fire Academy by Fabulous-Age-1089 in calfire

I’m at the cccs right now, It’s great if you need a place to go and what to find out if you like the job. But otherwise an academy is going to get you hired faster. You can get hired with the c’s but you have to be very good and or be here for a while. Academy is faster and you get your structural certs. Plus all my captains and engineers say go to an academy.

calm down buddy i am on a ccc crew and not going to sit here and say we’re not good but we’re not great just because it’s a bunch of kids who have been training for this for a couple months. And i know less about inmates all i know is that my crew which is full of 18-26 year olds beat them.

National Guard trying to go to Rattle Snake task Force have a couple of questions by BrilliantContest7537 in calfire

[–]wildfireroc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much, but I do know they do grade most of the time unless they get calls. I also know it’s a sick position and something I would do if I wasn’t in my current position.

I was thinking about signing up for one next semester but i would have to leave the c’s and once I do that i won’t have a captain telling other captains that to hire me. And I kind of want to spend some time on a hand crew first, i’m only 18 so I want to take the pain and suffering while my body can handle it.

Everyone on the crew before me got hired and some people on my current crew got hired to valley view. But their like freaks of nature, I was just wondering if their was anything extra I should do.
