Edmonton hiring?

[FirefighterEMR]

Has anyone here heard if the 60 new firefighters that Edmonton is set to hire will be off of the current waiting list or if they will be hiring 60 more?

I hear that these are new positions that are going to be created.
This will not include the ret. numbers. Possible 7 classes to be run in the new year, approx. 20/class. Hire list stands @about 108?.
Possible recruitment in the spring... get ready...EMR/class 3(air)/ACP cert.

Hey guys,
Are you guys on the eligibility list?? I am and was wondering if anyone knew what the list stands at...How many guys have they hired since they completed the process. Should have the list completed within the year???

millsy78 - If you're wondering where you stand on the list, don't be afraid to call Human Resources to find out. When I was waiting to hear when they were starting my class, I checked in every 2-3 weeks or so. I don't think they were annoyed in the least. I know I felt better.

Hey Colin, thanks I will call and find out. Are you in right now or are you done the training part. Working yet? If so how did everything go for you??

I've been a firefighter in Brampton, ON for 3 years. Not sure if you thought I was in Edmonton. But to answer your question anyway, yes training went very well ... 14 weeks. Remember when you do start training, the instructors aren't there to fail you, they are there to help you get through everything and if you need help in certain areas, by all means, don't be afraid to ask for more help.
