Dublin Fire service recruitment? Anyone know??

Frezno23 · 26-05-2023 12:03pm

Out of interest is anyone already a registered paramedic? I have registration in the UK and Ireland and currently trying to get my AP?

anyone know what would happen in that case?

CDM2323 · 28-05-2023 4:47pm

Best of luck to everyone starting tomorrow 👏🏻

If you’re already a PHECC registered paramedic you’ll only do firefighter training and then go on station while the rest do paramedic training

Frezno23 · 30-05-2023 1:00pm

Thanks @TheButcher, the thoughts of having to retrain would be crippling.

best of luck to the class starting this week

Hi guys,

I have follow this thread for a long time now never posted. I made the panel this year just over the 100 mark. I am sure like everyone like me there working on keeping fit and getting all the prep in as possible.

I was thinking others who have made the panel and awaiting the call be up for maybe meeting up for something like a run 5,10k and a chat and share any tips on your prep to make sure we get over this fence.

Hi all, I am just past the 100 mark on the panel similar to the poster above and also working on fitness. Does anyone know is the shoulder press machine in the physical exam a single arm machine (I know it'll be both arms together in the test) or machine where both arms are connected? Also, can anyone give any info on what machine is used in the medical test for the 'leg/back pull strength of 117 kg or above' ? Any help or equipment suggestions to help prepare for the above welcome. Thanks!

The machine for the leg/back pull is a load cell dynamometer similar to this

Frezno23 · 18-06-2023 10:36am

Any news from the recruit class? What’s it like, first day time table etc

The DFB Twitter page has been posting an update of what is on the agenda for the recruit class and has been very insightful. Even if you don't have an account you can look up their twitter, just put into google ' Dublin Fire Brigade Twitter'' and their feed link should come up. Their handle is @DubFireBrigade

GravyD · 13-07-2023 9:49pm

Anyone in the know or close to goings on heard anything about the likelihood of Class 2 starting in January?

Class 1 suspended for a MINIMUM of 3 weeks due to issues with instructors. This will delay class 1/2023 pass out date and class 2/2023 start date.

kend85 · 14-07-2023 3:52pm

I know it seems obvious but is the start date for class 2 definitely delayed? The only reason I ask is the paramedics course for class 1 is still due to start on October 9th as of yesterday.

From what I've heard class 1 paramedic start date has not changed. It seems to be an issue with BA instructors. Some of class 1 have enough to be sent out out to station but it might not go that far. They're hoping it will only be a 3 week delay but could go on longer. I can't imagine class 2 starting in early October. I would guess that too could be pushed back to match class 1's break or into January to secure instructors.

kend85 · 14-07-2023 4:18pm

I agree it is hard to see an early October start at this point. A recruit on course 1 was telling me that the last 3 weeks of the course were a refreshing and prep time for the passing out day so if that is scraped for the moment maybe that’s how they can still condense course 1 in the timeframe but that’s assuming it will only be a 3 week suspension I suppose. We will have to see what happens 👍

TheButcher · 20-07-2023 11:29am

DFB paramedics mcq & osce are booked for 15,16,17th January 2024

murmurrrr · 21-07-2023 1:12pm

Wondering if people have received their date for the physical assessments yet? My medical etc is completed and passed

GravyD · 21-07-2023 1:17pm

When did you get notified of the medical? I wasn't sure if I'd be in class 3 or scrape into class 2, that probably confirms I'm in class 3🤣

Tardis · 21-07-2023 1:23pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120879895#Comment_120879895

Medicals for class 2 are more a less finished. Physicals start in August. I think they're being done over the middle 2 weeks

GravyD · 21-07-2023 1:39pm

Ah brilliant, that's good to know, I can stop speculating for the next few months and get on with it

ROAAAR · 21-07-2023 3:54pm

When did you do your medical and how long were you waiting on the results?

Ciaran20041329 · 23-07-2023 11:01am

Hi Lads, has anybody the Job desc. Outlined necessary qualifications etc. For this competition?

Similar to this booklet but for the most recent comp.

Anyone know which OOM class 2 stops at?

SAXA999 · 24-07-2023 7:59pm

98

GravyD · 25-07-2023 4:24pm

Anyone who has recently just done the medical, is the eyesight test still the Keystone Test or is there more elements to it?

murmurrrr · 25-07-2023 7:25pm

Yeah its the keystone test and then the ishihara test book for colourblindness

Ahar86 · 28-07-2023 5:24am

Unfortunately didn’t make it through the medical myself due to colour blindness.Has anyone on here gone through the same and managed to find a way around it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

akdhen · 28-07-2023 1:10pm

@ahar86

Really sorry to hear man after all the effort .

Do u mind me asking what number on the panel u were?

Ahar86 · 28-07-2023 4:34pm

Ye tough one to take alright. I would have been in class 2 . Between 60 and 80 OOM

akdhen · 28-07-2023 6:17pm

Thanks man .

Best of luck going forward if u got yourself to that point no doubt you'll smash whatever comes next .

Jakeee19 · 02-08-2023 11:28am

Speaking of eye tests lads, has anyone here done it before with contact lenses or anyone planning to? I don't currently wear them but notice the eyes aren't what they used to be

dylans10 · 10-08-2023 1:57am

I was emailing HR and they said the second class will be starting Oct 9th, I asked when this will be officially announced, and they didnt say but said that it will be Oct 9th.

shezzer · 14-08-2023 9:38pm

Does anyone know what OOM the panel is currently at now after calling class 2?

GravyD · 15-08-2023 2:06pm

I'd be curious about this too, the information booklet we received at the start of the campaign had parameters for "Corrected" vision so surely that means contacts are permitted for the test, anyone know?

kend85 · 17-08-2023 11:21am

Does anyone have any idea why the second course is delayed two weeks?

Anon456123 · 19-08-2023 12:28pm

Passed the CPSA about a week ago give or take, email following passing the CPSA says start date for class 2 is October 23rd. Good luck anyone yet to do the physical.

akdhen · 20-08-2023 9:09pm

Do you mind me asking what panel number you are?

Hey Rob, hope you got the panel. I got placed on it just waiting for medical now.

The_Mask · 28-08-2023 9:52pm

Hi guys

Has anyone info on how many vacancies will open for the Emergency Services Controller position and will the medical exam be same as for the Firefighter position. Thanks in advance

CGCAN05 · 31-08-2023 7:32pm

They made a panel of 60 I believe. I don't know how many will be in each class. Did you get on the panel?

CGCAN05 · 31-08-2023 7:43pm

I'm not sure about the medical.....would love to hear how it is.

Iceomatrix · 03-09-2023 9:13pm

Any update on what OOM class two has gotten to?

Sailing___ · 04-09-2023 8:40am

Has anyone heard a whisper on whether Class 3 will be called for their medical/physical? Is it likely to be before Christmas?

The_Mask · 12-09-2023 9:43pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121053380#Comment_121053380

Yes made very early 30s in OOM so eager to know if I'll make the cut. Did you make it to the Panel?

CGCAN05 · 15-09-2023 7:07am

Hey! Well done you! I got early 40s! I would love to hear how the medical goes for you! It would be good to know exactly what they want..... specifically if you reach your Max heart rate are you disqualified?! Twould be nice to know! Good luck with your medical and I'd love to hear how you got on.

Luke Loughran · 18-09-2023 1:28pm

Does anyone know when the next round of recruitment may happen? is it likely to be any time soon?

Tardis · 18-09-2023 1:48pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121126153#Comment_121126153

The current panel is live until early 2026. I'd imagine around then

akdhen · 19-09-2023 2:49pm

Anybody know if the second class was backfilled to make up a full 48?

kingstevii · 19-09-2023 10:47pm

Yes, it was.

Iceomatrix · 24-09-2023 2:39pm

Anyone know what OOM class 2 has gotten to after backfilling?

Dublin Fire service recruitment? Anyone know??
