I think you were mislead at the recruiting center. But like you said, I don't know, I've only been in the trade for 17 yrs and every year I see new faces joining up, either OT's or direct entries and most of them don't have any FF background including firefighting education. If everybody needed...

CosmoK, I'm really not sure what you want. From your previous posts, you have a background in firefighting ei: education & volunteer FF. I don't know if your level of FF education would get you hired in any big depts. Also, I don't know about your military background. Surely you would...

Il y a un vieux dicton dans mon métier qui dit que si tu fais un accident ( roll over) avec un camion, les chances sont qui tu vas être promus en dedans des 6 prochain mois....Je ne recommande pas cet tactique a qui que se soit.....lollll .. Farce a part, je crois que AESOP081 a répondu a ta...

Good luck to you PViddy, hopefully the process of transfering will get done quickly. Even if all the basics are covered in the apprentice course, I think it's a good idea you keep refreshing your memory......Once again, good luck. Cheers

Le grade de CplC est un grade, je crois ce que tu veux dire c'est que ce n'est pas une promotion mais un appointement. C'est vrai aussi que pour la différence de salaire entre un Cpl avec un incentive 4 et un Cplc ce n'est pas gros, considérant la différence de responsabilités. Mais refuser...

Please, is this how this fine young lad should be basing in decision on?....Let's not forget about the military code of conduct is...If I'd want a sell a vacuum cleaner,I'd go to Tom  Hopskins for insparation. Keepind this in the right track, if He's part of the military and he's told to deploy...

WOW, on se croirais vraiment sur un site de rencontre...............Bonne chance a vous tous qui commence bientôt et surtout félicitation. N'oubliez pas le travail d"équipe Cheers...

Simple fact is, if you're told to go than you go. no matter what. Don't worry about your tasking at your own unit. Operational tasking is pri 1, if your chain of command is asking (telling) you to go, you shouldn't have to worry about your job at your home unit while you're gone , It will get...

Très daccord avec toi Combat Clerk, il ya des métiers qui la méritent puis d'autre......... on se pose toujours la question. Pour ce qui est des MS's qui se font aimer ou non, disons que dans mon métier on travailles souvent avec eux et c'est comme partout ailleurs, parfois c'a n'en prends juste...

Le QL3 est de 4 mois et a peu près la même chose pour le QL5. Tu met de 18 a 24 mois pour le QL4. En général le tout se fait entre 4 et 5 ans. Pout le QL6 ca prend plus de temps puisque tu dois atteindre un rang minimum avant d'être éligible, ca dépend de la progression de carrière de chaque...

Oui c'est ca, QL veut dire ''Qualification Level'' Ce sont ce qu'on appelle les cours de métier. Le QL3 est le cours d'apprenti et le QL5 le cours de compagnon et après il y a le QL6 qui est celui de superviseur. Tout ces cours se donne a l"école de pompiers des Forces Canadienne à Borden en...

Salut Seb, pour répondre a tes questions, j'assume que tu es déja allé à un centre de recrutement. Je sais par expérience qu'ils n'ont pas toujours tout les réponses mais c'est un bon point de départ. D'après ce que je peus lire tu n'es pas militaire encore. Tu as raison de dire qu'il y a...

If you go to the gym frequently, you won't have any problems with the physical test. Also a point to remenber is that once your course is   completed and you start working at the Firehall, you get one hour a day on shift for PT. Every Firehall is equipped with a Gym and you can train as a crew...

Here's a link for the Fire Fighter Physical Fitness Maintenance Program (FF PFMP): http://www.cfpsa.com/en/psp/fitness/tasks_e.asp By the way Heatwave, have you seen the new OJT'4 package, close to 1800 hrs. I think this is good, they had some problems lately at the school with people showing...

Salut Cybelle, j'ai habité les PMQ's de Shearwater pendants plusieurs année et oui ils sont vieux, comme la majorit; de tout les PMQ's à travers le Canada. A Shearwater ils sont pratiquement tous rénovés et en bonne étât. Pour ce qui est des sous-sols, c'est vrai qu"ils y en a qui ont des fuites...

1. The basic driver's training (BDT) is 2 weeks. 2. The apprentice FF course is 16 weeks as I recall, it is more relax the BMQ but lots of hard work and remenber, this is done on a training base so you can get your own conclusion from that. 3. Although you do not drive the pumper, pump...

During our days off, we are free to go as we please. We are still subject to recall if something major does happen on base and the on duty crew is overwhelm by the magnitude of the incident. Also, once in a while we may have to attend any kind of training that is scheduled on specific dates. If...

I think that most of the halls now all work the same shift which is: 4 days starting on a Monday, 6 days off, 4 nights, 4 days off, 3 days, 3 nights, 4 days off and than we start all over again. 1 day = 9 hrs and 1 night = 15 hrs. It's a pretty good shift once you get use to it and the good...

I do have pictures from my 3's, I would have to scan them but meanwhile here's a link with a lot of pics, mostly from CF/DND firefighters. http://www.firehouse651.com/gallery/ When I was up the school a couple of years ago, one of the staff there was trying to get a project going for the...
