Being Prepared

Dreams Do Come True – When Prepared

2020-05-29T16:56:53+00:00

Dreams Do Come True – When Prepared Having over 40 plus years in fire service, I can brag and tell you that I know a thing or two. I hear from candidates every day about their struggles and difficulties scoring high enough to get the job done. With our program, we work to help them discover what is holding them back and what needs to be overcome in order to get them the badge. One candidate emailed me the following: I didn't realize how incredibly dead in the water I was. You see, I thought my answers to the oral [...]

Which Path Will You Take?

2020-05-29T17:07:58+00:00

Which Path Will You Take? In our last four academies, we hired 39 medics and 12 firefighters. Here was the thinking….our department wanted a medic at each station. As a result, we were down about 25-30 people. And, we didn’t hire all medics because medics weren’t the people who were retiring. The long and short is that we didn’t need everyone to be a medic. We just needed some to be medics. Here is what happened. When I asked around to find out which of the 51 people had a degree, no one knew. You see, at least with my [...]

How Long Can You Tread Water?

How Long Can You Tread Water? I could not agree more with the value of an education. Education can and will help you in many ways. But, here is the truth – everyone has an opinion about this, and there are exceptions to every rule.  How does that translate to a career in Fire Service? There are many roads to earning your firefighter’s badge, and there are no guarantees in life, no matter the path you take.    If you want that badge – and cannot think of anything that you want more, then ask yourself who’s getting the badge? Are [...]

It’s An Early Christmas!

2020-03-07T01:03:29+00:00

It's An Early Christmas! I told Nick that in our experience, this meeting was going to include a job offer conditional on passing the medical.  It was exciting news. This was an emotional time. Not only did Nick get this e-mail on his birthday, but he was driving home for Thanksgiving the next day. That very next week, Nick was with the other candidates in the lobby when they called his name first. As it turned out, my prediction was correct. This was a job offer pending the medical.  I told Nick they probably called him first because he was [...]

Not Your Momma’s Oral

2020-03-07T00:38:25+00:00

Not Your Momma’s Oral Sometimes, you will hear folks talk about how easy it was in the '70s to get hired as a firefighter. Back then, people got hired right off the street. There was no test. It was just a handshake. You see, fire departments in the late '60s and early '70s earned incentives for hiring guys coming back from Vietnam. Those guys now have 30 years in service, and they are ready to retire. They are prepared to pass the torch. Here is the reality. There isn't a department in any state that isn't looking at several firefighters [...]

LIFE IS TIMING

2020-09-16T15:01:34+00:00

LIFE IS TIMING While in Washington DC with our 13 and 15-year-old grandsons, I read a topic on one of the firefighter bulletin boards. A candidate, named Mike, was asking a scenario question about a firefighter who showed up for a shift and had been drinking. What do you do? I thought Mike received some bad advice on how to answer the question. Right away, I emailed Mike to call me. He told me he was from NJ, had taken 5 tests, was spinning his wheels. He said to me that in two weeks, he would be heading to South [...]
