Depends on company. And agency that handles the grading

Do you ever get called over to other countries where there is a fire raging and they don't have enough firefighters?

Not me personally

Shoulder answer please. Also,Seeking clarification on "function without asthma acting up". Inhaler used more than 1x a day typically & used after exercise like running. Thoughts/knowledge on this asthma working with trying to be firefighter? Thankyou

Asked by Winston about 4 years ago

I work with several FF that had asthma. As long as your meds keep it from interfering during exercise you could achieve your goal.

Interested in recruiting process. Gathered there's orientation, cpat & written test. If pass those, then an interview. Is this correct & please fill me in. When is the medical test? What if have asthma(inhaler daily)? Shoulder tear from dislocations?

If you can function without your asthma acting up and is your shoulder injury repaired it is possible You can also look at a career with EMS,

I wanna become a firefighter in the future but I have an amputated foot( I can still function like everyone else can) I just want to know does having an amputated foot disqualify me from becoming a ff cause I count join the military because of it

There is currently a double amputee firefighter I believe up North. So yes if you can do the job dont let it atop you.

Shoulder not yet surgically repaired. Can I take the CPAT first, then surgery, then academy to become firefighter? Idk the best order. Or do i need to have surgery b4 begin process of becoming firefighter. When in order of process is the medical exam

Asked by Winston about 4 years ago

I would have the repair done before you start. Because they will not let you do the cpat with a known injury.
