One chapter ends, another begins (nsr)

So after what seems like a long struggle of gaining certifications, testing, interviewing, worrying etc., I've been offered a full-time firefighter job with 2 separate cities. Today I made the decision, shook hands with the chief and walked out with a stack of papers to fill out and read. Stoked. Perfect timing, I get laid off from patrol on apr.10th, and start my first shift on apr.11th.

And since I got in a full year on pro-patrol, the chances are very good that I'll be able to part-time it next year.

Congrats man. It sounds like those cities must be nearby.

Nice Kev! What two cities?

Forget it, will call anyway. :p

Congrats!!

Maybe we can get you as a volly at Brighton next year? :biggrin:

good work Flyk, congrats.

Better be SLC, bizzle. There's bike riding to be done!

K- That's awesome, congrats! I was a firefighter for three years before getting into the weather biz, and they were some of my favorite years ever. It's a great job, and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it. I mean, ever see Backdraft? That's just what it's like, day in, day out... :cool:

2 job offers? Good on you. Many go years trying to get one.

Mucho glad for you Kev...you deserve it!!!

Can't beat the benefits of a job like that. 20 year retirement, etc.

Big time congrats Kev! Way to get after it. Good luck and best wishes.

Yeah dood!! Way to get it done flykster. It's been a good year for ya :yourock:

Good things happen to good peeps...glad to hear things are going your way Kev.

Congrats dude, call/PM/post with more details!

congrats mang!
so where's this city you'll be watching over??

Thanks for the props guys, i'm pretty excited about it. I'll be working for Ogden, the busiest department (calls per FF) in the state. Trial by fire (heh).

In a strange twist, it was actually ski patrol that helped me get the job. A few of the weekend volis are Ogden city medics and I called on them to tell me what the chief wanted to hear in the interview. It worked, I was the second interview out of 10 and he offered me the job on the spot.

congrats K!!

cool to see your dreams coming true

Nice job flyk. Did yoiu end up getting that book we talked about? YOu have just got the best job in the world....congrats.

pm or email with questions if I can help.

many congrats!!!!

AWESOME!!! Way to go. On your days off, we expect many LCC visits (maybe even a pass???). And Biking season, forget about it. Deer Valley pass, Brian Head pass, Moab local status...

And…..20 year necro bump, announced my retirement yesterday. The TGR timeline is crazy and most of the posters in this thread are long gone from here, but luckily I’m still in touch with about half of them, and I miss the rest of them.

Nothing better than getting paid to stay home. Way to go dude.!

Wooooooooow
Good job, congrats

read the first post not realizing the date and was a bit confused.Holy shit dude, congrats my man.

Congrats.

Time flies.

Hell of a run, congratulations on the announcement!

Congratulations, 20 and out nice work. I just got promoted to Captain and have another 9yrs to go. That will put me at 23 years in....hoping I can make that. lol!

FKNA, K, congrats!

Hell yea! Congrats, we will have to share a river beer at some point to celebrate.

FlyK! This plus a Frozen update and the fourms kinda working makes for a good start to the day

Going back to full time patrol after a summer of travel and shenanigans

Hey thanks everybody, it's kind of wild to look back at 20 years of personal TGR history.

Full disclosure, I'm not dropping out of the work force entirely just yet, my wife won't allow it. But I am ready for a change of scenery and day to day.

Congratulations! Just happened to see your post regarding your retirement. After 30 seasons as a Fed wildland Firefighter, the last 25 years as a Career Perm, I retired as an Eng Capt two yrs ago. I still go out on assignments occasionally as a TFLD, DIV SUP, etc…But I’ld rather chase storms than fires.
I’m actually posting this from…….
