Rank Structure
All candidates who have recently graduated from the FDNY Firefighter Academy will automatically be assigned to the rank of Probationary Firefighter, who are by this stage fully trained and certified in providing Emergency First Aid & CPR, Extinguishing Fires and Technical Rescues. While at the rank of Probationary Firefighter, personnel will be expected to attend calls with a fellow FDNY colleague who is at the rank of Firefighter or above with the exception of emergency situations in which permission will need to be previously acquired.
Once the Probationary Firefighter has passed all set criteria for the Probationary stage, they are subject to a possibility of a promotion to Firefighter, who remain trained at the same level of care but are able to both attend calls solo where needed and also assist in the supervision of new graduates.
As you progress through the department, you will have opportunities to obtain new certifications that will assist you as you make your way up the ranks.
Requirements
Before applying for a position with the Bureau of Fire Operations, prospective applicants should review the following requirements;
- Must possess a valid Liberty City driver's license.
- Must have a clean criminal record.*
- Must be a lawful citizen of the United States of America.
- Must hold, or have an equivalent to, a High School Diploma.
- Must be at least twenty-one (21) years old at the time of induction.
- Must have a high level of understanding and capability in reading, writing and speaking English.
((
- - Must be in good standing with other factions.
- Must be able to dedicate a solid amount of activity towards the faction per week.
))
Please note that certain infractions and misdemeanors will not count towards having a negative background check. If you are unsure about any charges, please contact the Recruitment & Retention Command Team who will get back to you as soon as possible with a verdict.
(( Much like our rule pertaining to Criminal Records, being banned from another faction does not immediately eliminate your chances of being accepted into the FDLC. We deal with these on a case-by-case basis and kindly ask that you PM a member of Retention & Recruitment Command in order for us to look into your ban and decide on a verdict. The only case in which this does not apply is if the ban is from FDLC, in which case you must go through the appropriate channels in order to appeal your ban with the faction directly.
In regards to the activity rule, if you are in multiple factions then we kindly ask you to attempt to keep up a 50-50 activity within both factions. This may be checked on without warning by either R&R Command or the FDLC Department Executives and you may be at risk of removal from either one or both factions if you fail to maintain a stable level of activity throughout both commitments. ))
Application Process
The Application Process is pretty straight forward. The applicant will go through FOUR (4) stages prior to their lucky first day on the job. These Four (4) stages are as follows:
1. Applicant Eligibility & Review
As your application enters the Eligibility & Review phase, the R&RU reviews many key components prior to making their decision. The main criteria that the R&RU is looking for is Criminal Record & Citizenship. Applicants and employees alike are held to a high standard, as these individuals will, or actively, serve the community on a day-to-day basis, and must be held to a professional standard. Each applicant's criminal background will be reviewed.** Upon complete review, the application will be forwarded to internal R&RU personnel to reach a verdict on whether or not the applicant will proceed to the next step of the Application Process.
**Should an applicant be charged, or convicted, of a criminal offence during their Review stage, or any stage thereafter, applicant should immediately inform their handler for next steps.
2. Interview
As the applicant passes their Eligibility & Review stage, they will be contacted directly by their Handler to determine a date, location and time for their In-Person interview. This interview will gauge many aspects of your professional history, and personality traits. The Handler will get to know you on a brief basis, while also getting to know your background and qualifications more carefully. The interview is recorded, both audibly and transcriptionally, for further review. Each applicant should come mentally prepared and dress in a business-casual attire.
3. Initial Examination
