No one knows exactly what outstanding/not outstanding means, but I believe u said ur number was in the 700s, so either way your looking at April.

And the one thing we all know about this process is that your paperwork NEEDS to be on point.

If I plan on taking the promo to fire from EMS, will I need to complete the CPAT soon after the promo exam or after I am eligible for promotion? Because you need 2 years of ems service before promotion, do I do the CPAT before or after the 2 years? or both? If someone had any idea let me know!

A few questions I am confused about...1) If I want to take the promo to fire, how long do I need to be on as an EMT before I can take the test? I know two years of EMT service are required in order to actually be promoted, but can I take the test before I have been on for two years?

2) I applied in September, exam 5003, when does everybody think it will be time to hire numbers off that list? How much longer will 4004 take to hire the remainder of the list? Just an estimation obviously. I've been following this and it appears that FDNY wiped out nearly half the list with the 2 January EMD classes along with the Feb class of 120 which is why I'm so curious. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hey guys.. A few questions that I saw that I can give a slight answer to. To the guy that asked about the paperwork and offer. If there was a discrepancy while in FINAL review, you're getting skipped over until the following Academy. It happened to me last week! My investigator called me & told me my file was being observed by his supervisor and there was a letter that needed to be more detailed. How painstaking! It's cool though! I'm looking forward to being @ Fort Totten in the more warmer months anyway! Lol.

And to those really anxious other guys who are on exam 5004... Estimate things like this, the logistics of getting that call for the FD is a frustrating one. So from the time you get that 2nd letter with your actual score and list number, give yourself about a 1 year and a 1/2 until you're good to go. And to my recollection, The Fire side offers the CPAT once you actually pass the exam! Plan for that first my friend!

Does anyone know what the dress code for going to get your uniforms is? I am assuming it's casual because we weren't told to be in business attire.

You can take the promo for fire whenever the test comes out, as long as your on the job. Dosent matter if you've been on for a week or years. But you have to do two years of EMS before you can transfer over

Don't get nervous in the medical to get fire. If your BLood pressure goes over 130-135 they prob won't take you. Just some advice because it's real easy to make your BP go up when your nervous. And then your firefighter dreams are out the window.

Any BP over 120 is considered stage 1 hypertension. Hypertension is one of the leading causes of firefighter deaths in America. Why would they take someone in their 20s that already has high BP and is not on the job yet? Read the open FDNY exam fourm. They drop like flys cus of BP.

for those going to Metrotech Monday morning, do we have to bring anything specific with us beside our uniform? Also, are we expected to bring our huge red bag with us to the academy everyday?

YES bring the red bag everyday day to the academy, after the first day you probably just leave it in the car. but they might randomly ask you to go get it. and if you dont its a write up
