I wanna say if they've called up to 30 on our list. Usually they call close to 300..so I'd say u have a good shot bro..fingers crossed..I'm still worried I'm gonna be that guy who gets the notorious random "skip" and not get called. I hope not. Give them a call today and see if they think u have a shot at this next class..then call again 2 weeks from now. Know what I mean? Can't hurt

Depending on class size if there's going to be 120 to a class like normal groups then they usually get through 250-300 numbers it all depends not everyone that applied still wants the job .. Some fail or give up on the process or got called for pd Fire instead .. U all will get your call it's not hard getting on with the Ems division as long as ur turned all of your documents in that was requested of u , didn't get into any accidents since meeting your investigator .. Or have a expired or soon to be expired EMT card , Good luck to all .. Stop stressing yourselves lol

ahh okay so if they stopped in the 30s on 5003, they'll call up to what number u think to get 120 EMTs? I thought it was like 90 emts and 30 medics. thanks for the advice and the insight bro.

If they are in the 30'sand it's a 120 EMT class I would expect them to get up to 250's
