I'm thinking about changing professions and firefighting is on the list. Does anyone have any info on the career path?
Salary? Is glassdoor correct? Work/life balance? Etc
Basically a day in, day out of what to expect aside from passing the physical tests.
It's like a dream job imo.
Don't put your eggs in one basket tho, if you are going down that route apply to police/ems as well, chances of getting into fire are probably one in a million.

The Fire Dept at my work wont even look at a guy unless he has completed the Pre-service Fire Fighter Education program and has real or volunteer experience. They wont be hiring based on the minimum requirements anytime soon.
Last 2 that were hired were both had taken the program and have been volunteer fire fighters for years. Both applied to the City, but because its so competitive, didnt get hired. City of Hamilton might only hire 10 a year.
Our guys do the same if not more training then the City ones do, go to the same schools and have to meet the same standards.
Here is a link for the Hamilton recruitment guide. http://www2.hamilton.ca/NR/rdonlyres/4F7...uidewebsite.pdf

It's very hard to get in but you can but it usually takes a long time.
Most people that do it love it.

What's not to love, hang with the boys, work out 2 hours a day, make epic meals, do some PTSD meetings once a week
Police and EMS have it WAY worse, like let's not even go there if we want to talk about what can't be unseen.

I forgot that you are an expert at everything. As if fire fighters are first responders right?
Is my name euphoric?
Firefighters have it REAAAAAAAL good compared to police/ems. The country club they are in is widely accepted by the General pop unless you want to cite anecdotal evidence to prove otherwise.

Ok there...
Guess who does the clean ups at accident scenes? But you knew that already right since cops and ems see it all compared to fire fighters LMFAO.

heh. yep. after a fatal accident, if there's blood or brain matter on the road. what do they do? turn the water on from the fire truck and hose the nasty shit away. which doesnt seem to be too bad compared to what the cops and ems go through.

My brother's a Firefighter for Toronto. And 355si on here is EMS. I talk to both of them on the regular. EMS certainly has it worse on a day to day. If shit ever hit the fan for a high-rise fire, it could be real bad, but in reality, that's something that's almost never going to happen. But rolling people off beds onto stretchers who've shat themselves and living is roach infested garbage homes, that's a daily occurrence for EMS.
OP, if you want to know anything in particular about Fire, feel free to PM me. But I agree with Vas. You're probably better off working towards EMS and/or police as well as FF. FF is not easy to get into (cushy job).

Wildout, is there a volunteer station near you? Might be a great place to start.
I'll ask the guys at work about the schools. Back in the day, my company used to send people to school for trades and even to Texas to the Fire Fighter school.

i agree it's BS. you really want the most qualified person for these jobs, not some affirmative action stuff.
however, i don't think you can check yes based solely on what you think. i believe they have definitions in the application forms of what constitutes a visible minority and it's based on skin colour. /wasist
Nowhere is that evolving change more starkly illustrated than Markham, which at 72.3 per cent, has the highest proportion of visible minorities than any other city in the country, according to Statistics Canada. Other GTA communities weren't far behind. Brampton has 66.4 per cent while Mississauga has 53.7 per cent
By those stats, as a caucasian, I'm the visible minority now.. no?

Which oddly enough correlates to the highest vehicle collision rate in the country I bet!
(Well, next to Brampton).
