This ticket added NO POINTS to my lisence

 

[FDNYEMT]

Hey guys looking for some advice. Im on list 5003 and im completely done with my processe (did all the tests met my investigator ect). I got a ticket today for driving my Dads car with tinted windows. The car is registered under my dads name, but the ticket has my name on it. Should I tell my investigator about it? If I do will they DQ me? If you think I should tell her hiw do I do it? Do I send a e-mail or call on Monday?

Yes, tell your investigator. Even if its no points. Its better if you tell rather than them finding out. I dont think youll get dq'd. But shoot your investigator an email or a phone call.

Get to a gym and get on the stepmill if u don't have a vest hold 2 20 pound barbells. 1 min warm up level 5 than level 6 at 3 1/2 mins. And for the arm test don't overdue it in the beginning pace yourself alot of ppl failed bcuz of that (they ran out of gas and you're not allowed to stop) start at a slow steady pace and last min go beast mode as fast as you can . The strength stuff was so easy and I'm a girl nothing to prepare for just the stepmill is what u want to prepare for if you've never been on one

Is that all we have to do bro ? Just last 3 minutes? Do you have to hit a certain amount of floors or steps?

Essentially, u just have to do 60 steps per min and can't touch the railings hardest part is that last minute

Stay safe and keep us updated!

Thanks For being so helpful! Is there any way I can make sure I'm hitting the 60 steps per minute when practicing?

Youre welcome!! The machine automatically moves you have no choice but to keep stepping lol so if your on 1 min it's 60 steps and 3 mins will be 180 so don't worry about nothing the machine is automatic only way to fail is to touch rail or get off before 3 minutes. The only time you won't know how many you're doing is the arm erogemeter thing u can't see how many rpms you're doing u won't know until calling the following Tuesday if you passed or not

Hello all. Glad to have joined this page. I got a list number of a high end 300, 38x. I am seeing all this talk of promotions and paramedics leaving so they'll being doing 180-200 person classes. My question is how soon would I be called to get hired or start the process if they still aren't done with list 5003? thanks for any and all information!

When should 5003 be finishing up?

When should 5003 be finishing up?

5003 only reached to about 350. There's about 1000 ppl left or so to finish before 6003

 

[Stavie670]

do you think they will put in a class for 6003 this year?

 

[MelEmtNyc]

do you think they will put in a class for 6003 this

I highly doubt it depending on list number if you're less than 250 you'll prob make next January academy. That's the trend for the past few tests

I got my list number the other day, #250 for 6003. Usually how long does it take to get a call from the fd to come in for your physical/health/drug test after getting your #? From what I understand, this is the first thing you are called in for before anything else.

I would make sure you have your residency points in order cause your cutting it very close for the promotional

Yes sir I know, its really disappointing hearing that the promo will most likely not be available around the time that I need it to be. I got residency covered, born and raised in nyc, been here my whole life. Good luck guys
