Haven't seen that little fella around here in months it seems , anyone know where he made it to? Probably got himself a woman and figured out there is life outside DTR (there is life besides DTR right?).

 

Don't know. Haven't seen his name pop up on my Yahoo Messenger for quite some time now.

 

I'm talking to him on AIM as we speak... I'll yell at him

 

eric

do you know where youngstown is?

brett

 

yea I believe so, up north near Cleveland?

 

I know where Youngstown is... I grew up there

 

cool. we just hired a guy thats from up there. he said the economy is in the gutter right now with all the auto manufacutres having trouble

brett

 

for fire department or something else?

 

yeah for the FD. we just hired 10 new guys. one from ohio, one from cali and the other 8 are from texas.

brett

 

Yeah, they might be shutting down the GM Lordstown Assembly Plant...

What did you hire him to do?

I might know him

 

right now hes a cadet ff/paramedic. good dude

brett

 

Awesome, what extra classes does it take to get certified in TX with an Ohio cert do you know? Also what are you guys paying your FF/Medics? Hopefully more than I can find here especially for part-time...

 

If ya don't mind, PM me his name... I wanna see if I know him...

 

starting ff/paramedic is like 42k. 39k for ff/emt-b. IIRC you NREMT-P so all you need to do is some paper work to get you texas dept of health cert. do you have all your IFSAC seals? if so, then i think its just paper work again to get over to texas commission on fire protection. with the union raise we get next year, i think a maxed out ff/emt-p on a special team (rescue/hazmat which is a 4% incentive) you would be at 60k. i think a new D/O is like 58k
