After 40 years, We Know a Thing or Two

2020-09-06T15:48:58+00:00

After 40 years, We Know a Thing or Two After 40 years in fire service, we know a thing or two. Let's get started….. The written and physical ability are pass/fail. These tests are cut and dry. You either make it or you don't. There is no wiggle room. Why does this matter? Because 100% of the score to get a badge is in the Oral Board. Yes, you read that right. 100% of what matters is in your ORAL! This is where you go for all the marbles. Trust me on this. After being part of over 100 oral [...]

Applying For A Lateral Position

2020-08-21T14:05:37+00:00

Applying For A Lateral Position The biggest problem when seasoned veterans take entry-level or lateral tests is that they can’t place themselves in the position of being a snotty-nosed rookie. It’s hard for them to remember what it was like to be the newbie. Instead, they try to hammer the Oral Board with their credentials. They think the Board will just hand them the job. But, the truth is that their Oral Board skills are rusty and antiquated. They are out of sync with what is needed. Here is our advice: Leave your time and rank in your locker. You [...]

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 [...]

Shoot for the Moon

2020-01-28T21:15:40+00:00

Shoot for the Moon We all have dreams. It is what keeps us moving forward. Dreams get us out of bed in the morning. Some dreams are attainable. Some are not. But, we still dream. Here is a situation where I was asked to give my opinion. Captain Bob- I've been offered a position to pitch with the minors.  It doesn't pay much, and I don't know if I'm good enough to make it to the majors.  My dilemma is I've also been offered a fire job. What do I do? This was my reply: Since I was a kid, I had a [...]
