We have heard just maybe a class to start so we have more medics in the academy for the NATO/G8

cfd admin, any news on anything?

Yes, and one would think they could not but medic vacancies because they are short staffed as it is. I guess time will tell.

Well in June they go through contract negotiations and with the way the mayor is cutting all these vacancies who knows what there gonna do.

Any word on when the city will hire off the new list?

No word by contract they should in the past they have not followed that but put in 20% in the next class

My mistake, I meant to type 10%, don't know why I typed 40 and then didn't realize it. So CFD Admin, do you think the 10% will be in with this next class?

40% we wish. We make up 20% of the Dept. And we are lucky to get 10% of anything.

I heard per union contract they have to have 40% crossovers, so unless they go against union contract there will have to be crossovers. We should know soon though, since they have to go in the academy Feb or March I thought.

There will be no crossovers with the "110"? This is whati have heard....

Looking for a house to rent on NW side. Any leads email me or post here thanks!!!

I am part of the last list and have yet to hear anything. If anyone hears anything concrete...please share:)

I just heard today that a class of 40 medics will start in Feb at the latest Mar. I'm guessing this is the old list since I haven't received any word and I'm third on the list. I don't want to get too specific, but this info comes from one of the city's resource hospitals who've already started preparations for the class. So, number 9, be on the look out as a possible alternate, I know I am and I'll be sure to post on here if I hear anything further.

Good question

number 9 on cfd medic list. when are they processing

Rest in Peace

Well we pretty much know that no one will be getting hired until 2012. Not enough time for this year, and I doubt they would start an academy on the 16 of December right before the holidays.

I know CFD does not do the polygraph and I'm pretty sure they don't do a psych. It's the "physical agility" test, a hair test, a medical screening, and lots of paperwork...then academy time, I believe.

i was wondering if the cfd makes candidates go through a psych or poly?

I was wondering the same. It has been a long time since a medic academy was held it seems.
