What divison are you applying for?

So when you show up om scene first are you not aloud to call for additional resources or cancel incoming units? that would be a incident command decision. Is this a "mother may I" thing or what? Is he saying that you cant just say to dispatch that your assuming command? sounds like a control issue.

I dont know what kind of information your looking for but "Essentials of Fire Fighting" is a good start for firefighting and for EMS i would say "Emergency Care and Transportation of The Sick and Injured"

You can only apply in person, the coverage area is yuba county and I think Sutter county. It's a 3 person panel interview and they have a very strict acadamy. Know Thomas guide map books inside and out. Study the crap out of there maps. I think it's 12 hour shifts and they have 1 24 hour shift.

Take red crosses Emergency Responder course. It's the fundementals of an EMT. Everyone I know that took that class and moved on to EMT passed no problem.

well to teach AHA CPR you have to be attached to a AHA approved training center. So im still unclear if thats what you are. If not my training center would probably take you and you can still teach for your company that your speaking of but there is just some extra paperwork you would have to...

So lets say i go and get my guard card, OC/pepper spray, baton, tazer and firearm permits... what other training / certs / permits are there beyond that to give me an edge to work with a larger company? i know security clearence is a big one. What would i need to do to become a nuclear...
