Took the NTN for the first time and that was ridiculous. I can’t believe that’s what some departments use as their make or break for applicants. After 10 years of EMS experience in quality 911 systems, I never thought making a pretend plastic brick would stand in my way from FD/Paramedic employment haha ? submitted by /u/DownTheAbysmal [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I will be taking my exam in the next few months and I was to prepare myself. I was wondering if anyone knows if during the skills exam, do they use smoke machines or live fires during the test? Like during search and rescue or line advancement and fire scenarios? Or is it just making sure you know how to preform the skills. submitted by /u/Dry-Masterpiece4759 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi All Firefighters, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I am really trying to understand why something happened to my daughter recently. I'm going to post a pic of her text to me as well as a pic of what resulted from this encounter. Whether this is the right place or not, I want to be sure and say that my family and I have the utmost respect and appreciation for what you do and we thank you sincerely! submitted by /u/WildflowerHoney_0526 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
