Which fire is this?

That is the Falls Fire in CA.

And that pilot probably needs a wagon to carry his balls around while he is on the ground.

Defiantly. Getting that close with a helicopter or a small plane is one thing but doing that with a commercial plane is just crazy.

Wait... a fire engine in an emergency zone that's parked, but the engineer managed to find the switch to turn off the disco lights?

Camera must not have caught any of the lights, tis impossible otherwise!
 
So Yesterday I got an email from the FD that I tested for they changed the score from a 83.3% to 80.67%. So it looks like I get to interview now!!! :D

Your score went down?
 
Rhonda said:
No I scored an 82 and they set the cut off for the next step at an 83.3 and according to yesterday's email the decided to lower the cut off to an 80.67

Ahhh that makes more sense.

CALFIRE pilots are some of the best in my opinion

Congrats! I tried to put in but I wasn't fast enough, they hit the 500 applicant max so fast!!

What do you have next? That department's pay scale and setup as far as EMS goes and where I live rather than in the land of strippers, cocaine and gambling would be my dream job.

I didn't get mine in for city either. They got 500 apps in 24 mins. I put my app in for the next town over. They do all the transports for the town. I have the panel interview next then hopefully the selection interview.

Good luck! You got this. Us Nevadans have to stick together, we're few and far between on here.

I was astonished when I tried to submit at 0730 and got the "we're full" response. I guess that's hat I get for that 9 minute snooze on my alarm :angry:

My old partner's partner works down there and she talked to him and he was going to help me through the process...I had my in!! Totally blew it :-/

I'd have been the medic that transported everyone though. For a while until I got used to turfing stuff to AMR and MW ;)

Got my app in for Firefighter Recruit and Ambulance Operator at Glendale FD last night. Also applied at Pasadena, though everyone else tells me I missed the cutoff time (even though the app was still open but we'll see). Didn't have the Biddle and couldn't get one in time for OCFA, don't really expect a call back from San Diego Fire Rescue since they pretty much require a year of 911 experience in the city (read Rural/Metro lol) and I don't have that.

Still waiting on an interview date for LA City, and hoping rumors I keep hearing about LA County hiring next year are true

I like my CCT shift but I want some 911 experience so I'm about ready to walk in an app at Schaefer and reapply at Care in the meantime

The DC-10 shown the in the pictures is one of two owned by 10tanker, a private company that developed the aircraft. It's contracted to CALFIRE during the fire season but goes elsewhere (i.e. Australia) when summer is over.

I ment in relation to the helicopters and small fixed wing aircraft. But whoever is flying that DC-10 is a certified bada:censored::censored: question in relating to the DC-10 does only a certain crew man that aircraft or is it pilots of the different departments?
