Chris has been a busy man this summer. He was hired on to Arvada's Volunteer Fire Department. The good thing about this is that they always hire from their volunteers. And the city is going to start doing their own ambulance transports rather than just engines, so they'll be hiring at least 10 paramedics in the next year I think. So he's coming in at a great time, especially being a paramedic.
Chris has had to do another two month fire academy. It is Wed and Thurs nights from 6pm-10pm and Saturdays from 7am-7pm. It's pretty intsenvie. But it's been nice because he hasn't had to study nearly as much as he did for the one he took last fall. He's has been very impressed with Arvada Fire Department. Everyone is very nice and they seem to be family oriented. He's hoping he'll get hired on there. One disadvantage is that they only work 24 hour shifts. So they do 24 on, 24 off x4 and then have four days off. It would be hard for me to work except for on his four days off since we would often need a babysitter for just a little while. We'll have to see what happens.
He is also interviewing for West Metro Fire Department. I'm kind of hoping he'll get hired on with them since it's where we live. He has done very well on the written test and physical agility test. His oral interview should be sometime in August. Wish him luck! :o)
