do you go to college first and then fire academy, or do you go to fire academy after high school? cause i'm studying psat and sat for college, what do i need to do to get into fire academy and qualify for it to get in?
As a former usmc service member... I look forward to being trained to save a life rather than to take one... fdny here I come... best job in the world
@MLopez0311 its great you were in the Marine Corps the best fighting force in the world and now your going to join the best firefighting force in the world. im finally going back to the The Rock again to brush up. good luck in the academy. your not a former Marine once you get past bootcamp your a Marine for life. Oorah. Semper Fi.
@xXCutePuppy666Xx haha dont even think about it kid we are the best of the best you just want to be a firemen because your dad is thats not why new yorks bravest are firemen dont even think about trying to join FDNY probie school.
@gators288 Okay then You try growing up with a dad that when asked loves to Tell good stories and memories that he has had during his career and whenever you mention firefighter tells you cool facts and always Smile at the word firefighter , when you are young if you dad is good you want to be just like him and i love my dad he is awsome i want to be like him i want to be able to also tell Funny and cool stories to my kids to let them know about my job and my dad and how he impacted my life
@gators288 Your not even on the job bro. Don't make comments to others that are aspiring to get on the job when your clearly not. Everyone has a chance, and you shouldn't try to shut down anyone's dreams.
wish they would have our department go through that training so I wouldn't be the only fit firefighter who doesnt run out of breath! Guess that's volunteers for ya, kick ass video!
@moakley Theres alot of people in old love to burn buildings...I know a firemen who was in the department for 5 years and got his first nozzle job a couple days ago
I think they're trying to train them not do drop the nozzle. FDNY uses mostly smooth bore nozzles. When you drop one it can distort the shape of the tip (should be round.) When that happens it can poorly affect the fire stream, which can make it less effective. Not to mention the nozzle then needs to be replaced.
i jst graduated from a fireacademy in MI n i was thinkin of goin to chicago FD but they said they give out their test once every 8 to 10 years but i really want to be a FDNY FF
The next open competitive firefighter exam is Jan 2011. You can file for this exam at the end of 2010. Once you pass, they put you on an eligible list. You'll be waiting like two or three years before appointment. For questions, call here before 4pm EST: (718) 999-FDNY. Good luck!
18... they bring in a huge class every 4 years however due to the economy right now their in a hiring freeze.... I'm 99% certain that they put small classes through every year to
hey, i'm from quebec Canada and i'm graduate from the fire academy here,my dream is to be member of the fdny, is it difficult to get the green card and apply for the fdny academy? and is it possible? Thanks a lot for your answer and great work with this video;)
Wouldn't know about the green card situation, I think you'd definitely have to be a naturalized citizen which I think takes years, then take the test. I did pretty good and waited 4 yrs, they were putting in small classes until late '06 when hiring sped up a bit.
Greatest video on youtube!!! I watch this all the time hopefully one day I will be there at The Rock training with the greatest fireman in the world!! FDNY you rock the rock!
THis video rocks!!! Im applying for FDNY in 2011. I been working for two different departments in Kentucky and been on the job for three years now. I love every second of it. I have more certs then I know what to do with. Does anyone from FDNY know whats covered in probie school??? Im just wondering to see if its anything like what we go through, lol. I hate having the knowledge of the job and not being able to use it!!!! I have lost so many skills since I am not using them. Its sad!!! Stay safe
I'm being quite honest with you, once you get into the academy, you can kiss those cert's goodbye they don't care whether or not you're FF1 / 2 certified etc. When you get into the academy they go over EVERYTHING from engine company operations to truck company operations.
even though you get to go home every night from the academy do you have take you turn out gear with you? and after you pass the written is there anything else or you go streight to the academy?
After you take the written, if you score high enough and your list number is high enough you'll be called in eventually to take the physical once they hit your list number, then after you take your physical exam (C-PAT) you will then go through your psych etc, and eventually to the rock. I wouldn't get your hopes up too much they're closing 10 - 15 companies down or they're trying to.
I have a question for the FDNY guys. Is the training any diff for the ladder/truck co. ff's vs the engine co. ff's or is it the same? And what determines your assignment to a truck vs an engine? Don't mean to ask dumb questions but I work at a small dept with only 4 companies, 3 engine and 1 ladder, and we interchange from shift to shift. Our training was the basics of both functions. FDNY firefighters are awesome. Watching vids about FDNY make me proud to be a firefighter even if we are small.
When you go into the academy you learn EVERYTHING both engine company operations as well as truck company operations. Afterwards when you're done with probie school you are assigned to a company. It varies on how you did in the classes etc.
right! im a uk guy,and have been interested in firefighting for fuck knows how long and know quite abit, can anyone tell me how hard itd be for me to get in?
What house you two out of? Why you talking shit to the guys out west? This is you tube, and You are making F.D.N.Y. look kind of stupid. Please stop. If you do work for FDNY then tell me what the seal of brotherhood states? You will know this if you are on the job here.
LMFAO!!!!! you went too far UK boy, you acting like you were in this fire academy? what medication you on? YOU are the biggest homo I have ever met! You do not work for FDNY and you are not even a fireman, you are a gaylord thats it!!!!!
Belive me It's for me i wanted to do this job since the day i was born. The reson i ask is because when i see something i want i also wnat to know everythung about it!
very long hours, 11 hours.When you get home your tired,then you gotta study.I don't think it's for you, if you gotta ask about the time.7ish-6pm.poeple come 90mins before there tour starts
Thats whats so awesome about Firefighters all over the World. The Bravest people I ever met were Firefighters. Can't wait to get out of the Army and join you. 2013.
I'm on my way to medical school but then realized I was really doing it for the money and don't really want to put another 4 years of heavy studying. Anyways I hear the next exam is on 2010 and I graduate june of 2011 with my bachelors. Now I want to really know how long it would take to get the job thinking optimistically if I did superb on the test and am eligible. Thanks a lot any help appreciated greatly.
No not really fogs dont have that great of an affect in highrise buildings they turn into giant ovens so useing a fog the water turns to steam right out of the nob
So I'm guessing they don't use foam very much either. Yea I can see the steam part of it though. Our instructor steamed us good the other day in a burn.
Yeah we have a fog nozzle in the front of the engine,we use it on Rubbish and car fires,we use the solid stream more often,the fog nozzle has a hollow stream,and there have been a few cases where FF's got hurt or they couldn't advance the line because they didn't have enought water
You jump on that opertunity to work overtime joey you need 14 collage credits and live in one of the 5 boros of nyc son go to collage you need 4yrs to move up to LT. move to nyc and study for the test and get good grades now while your on the list join fdny ems.
they changed it you need 15 collage credits or a full time job for 6 months you could live in 1 of the 5 boros. or Nassau county, Orange county, Putnam county, Rockland county, Suffolk county or Westchester County you still need a collage degree to move to Lt. by passing the test
I work in the FDNY we work 10 hour day shifts 14 night you work for 4 days on three off three on four off once a month however we work 24hrs so other duty crews can go to training that day. some companys are short on crews mostly truck companys and they will go out of service for the night of day. generly when you work in
Joseph, in answer to your question, its a long process to get the job. The test is typically only given every 3-5 years, and then roughly 30,000 candidates take it. Only the top 5000 scorers will typically have a chance at the job, if they complete a battery of tests including a background investigation, psych test, physical test, and an exhaustive medical exam. Typically candidates will wait AT LEAST a year and a half for the job, even if they are the very top scorers on the written exam.
Hey man, thanks for the video. Been waiting over 2 years for my spot in the academy, and im finally gonna get it come January. Been training my butt off, and when i come home at night, i watch this video to remind me why.
im in class 02 of 2008...yeah its harder than i thought. hangin in there. 6 months of academy aint easy!!! we all gonna make it! nothing like the FDNY!
What would be my best chances at the FDNY, because I'm planning on majoring Fire Science and then becoming a paramedic would that be a good chance on getting on the job?
that might be helpful once your already on the job but all you need is 15 college credits (or 1 year prior work experience). They will teach you Certified First Responder while in the academy. There is no need to go above that certification unless for side work.
I layed the nozzel on the ground at my academy to. but they made me carry it above my head for 2 hours hahaha. keep up the good work congrat and becoming firefighters
What a great video. I serve with a fire dept in manatoba canada. went to an academy in vermillion alberta. F.D.N.Y is my dream job. total respect for all of your members past and present. the academy looks so intence its no wonder you guys are the best. keep the vid's coming ah.
There will always be people ahead of you, but if you study for this entrance exam like any profession you have to score well to get in. If you score really well you will be called first its that simple.
So let me get this straight. You take the entrance and exam and it may or may not take them up to 4 years to call you depending on your score, then you go through probie school and if you get through it with high enough scores then you might get ass

I'm on my way to medical school but then realized I was really doing it for the money and don't really want to put another 4 years of heavy studying. Anyways I hear the next exam is on 2010 and I graduate june of 2011 with my bachelors. Now I want to really know how long it would take to get the job thinking optimistically if I did superb on the test and am eligible. Thanks a lot any help appreciated greatly.

Does the FDNY use fog nozzles at all? All I have ever seen them use is smoothbore.
Himdarling44 3 years ago
No not really fogs dont have that great of an affect in highrise buildings they turn into giant ovens so useing a fog the water turns to steam right out of the nob
eyespike79 3 years ago
So I'm guessing they don't use foam very much either. Yea I can see the steam part of it though. Our instructor steamed us good the other day in a burn.
Himdarling44 3 years ago
Yeah we have a fog nozzle in the front of the engine,we use it on Rubbish and car fires,we use the solid stream more often,the fog nozzle has a hollow stream,and there have been a few cases where FF's got hurt or they couldn't advance the line because they didn't have enought water

Jayxbird521 3 years ago
they changed it you need 15 collage credits or a full time job for 6 months you could live in 1 of the 5 boros. or Nassau county, Orange county, Putnam county, Rockland county, Suffolk county or Westchester County you still need a collage degree to move to Lt. by passing the test

I work in the FDNY we work 10 hour day shifts 14 night you work for 4 days on three off three on four off once a month however we work 24hrs so other duty crews can go to training that day. some companys are short on crews mostly truck companys and they will go out of service for the night of day. generly when you work in

Joseph, in answer to your question, its a long process to get the job. The test is typically only given every 3-5 years, and then roughly 30,000 candidates take it. Only the top 5000 scorers will typically have a chance at the job, if they complete a battery of tests including a background investigation, psych test, physical test, and an exhaustive medical exam. Typically candidates will wait AT LEAST a year and a half for the job, even if they are the very top scorers on the written exam.

What would be my best chances at the FDNY, because I'm planning on majoring Fire Science and then becoming a paramedic would that be a good chance on getting on the job?
pattpatrickmann 2 years ago
that might be helpful once your already on the job but all you need is 15 college credits (or 1 year prior work experience). They will teach you Certified First Responder while in the academy. There is no need to go above that certification unless for side work.
mrd1016 2 years ago
But you also need to get a 100 on the written and 100 on the physical, its not an "Application process"
Ten7d5 2 years ago
NO your chances are 1 out of the other 14000 that take the test
psp310 2 years ago
More like 30,000 now.

Himdarling44 3 years ago
Would you get a higher score if you were already a certified firefighter cause I was thinking about going back and finishing my training.
Himdarling44 3 years ago
you might get a better score, but they don't care what past experience you have.

There will always be people ahead of you, but if you study for this entrance exam like any profession you have to score well to get in. If you score really well you will be called first its that simple.
Calsonic66 3 years ago

mwacting 3 years ago

So let me get this straight. You take the entrance and exam and it may or may not take them up to 4 years to call you depending on your score, then you go through probie school and if you get through it with high enough scores then you might get ass
