As far as I know, the next exam will be in a really long time..... they are no longer hiring from the provisional list but taking people from civil service exam. Bad time to join FDNY :/ I am having issues as well.

Finished the course. Passed the state exam so yay. Now my question is... what do I do next? Volunteer agencies in NYC have been jerking me around. Maybe it will be different now that I have a license.... But can anybody suggest what is the best route for me? Do I work as an EMTB and gain...

Where I currently moved to there are plenty of firehouses who are accepting emt volunteer applications. I have yet to start the process but what is bothering me is the issue that I might need a car. I live 15 minutes away walking distance from each fire house in every direction. No one seems to...

thanks everyone, i am looking into where they have classes in long island and queens and etc... you guys gave me a lot of good tips. i'll try to get in anywhere i can but taking the class certainly in the summer. i think it will be a good way for me to earn some experience before i head into...

I am fairly new to this as two days ago it suddenly hit me to look into EMT, so I'll be browsing through the forums to find info. Please bare with me with all my questions.... What is the certification process like and where can I find a class? College? Where can I dig up money to pay for...
