Hey man I got my intake letter, heading down on Friday.
FDNY EMS Candidates
- Thread starter JPat86
- Start date
What was your list number?
Low 100's
Okay that might explain why I haven't got mine yet. I'm 13x so if you're higher than that, that makes sense.
Yea for sure. Looks like patience is going to be our best friend here. Hang tight man
You too. Good luck on Friday buddy.

first few weeks it's general emt stuff. focus is on state protocols. after u pass the state exams it's focus on city protocols. in between is different things. hazmat training at randalls island, extrication training, evoc training, mci training etc etc

the state practical will be about 3 weeks in. the state written will be about 4 weeks in. unless they switch it up for u guys being a bigger class
Do you find out pass/fail on the spot?
And thats pretty good, because you have the info fresh in your head for the state.

yeah u do. you'll retest as needed on the practical if u fail 2 or 1 stations. most likely same day. for written you'll find out if u pass within a few hours after. don't get below 70 on that or it's bad news
How is the new state exam (written)?
I heard that its more definition based, whereas when i took mine, it was more scenario based?

i don't remember a lot scenarios on it. but definitely know terminology. know state protocols. and then there's always common sense questions. which I saw a lot of. read every question and all the answers twice. you'll be good
Thanks for the quick response brotha!

Thanks for replying so quickly, one more question do we get a lunch or dinner break? and do we bring our own food or can we buy it somewhere around there not familiar with that area too much
Does anyone know if Acid Reflux is a disqualification for FDNY EMS? Asking for a friend of mine who also got a list number.
About 7 years ago they went to a doctor for getting out of breath easily. They said it was possibly a slight asthma or acid Reflux. They asked him if he wanted to try an inhaler to see if it would help, but it was not full on asthma he would not have attacks and never has. He then went back for a check up and mentioned a cough so the doctor told him maybe it was acid Reflux then. He never really got a clear answer and just got himself in shape and started eating better(he was overweight) and the problem went away.
Anyone know how he should approach this?
