If you are interviewing for a Firefighter or Fire and Rescue position, you will want to read this post. Below are some likely job interview questions for the job. The methods we used to develop these questions are the same ones we used as corporate HR in developing job interview questions for hiring managers. We have developed these questions by analyzing the core competencies or skills, job ad requirements and so forth.

In Firefighter Job Interview Questions – Part II, we cover some additional questions that departments use to screen Fire and Rescue personnel.
The Questions Are In Your Resume
Remember that another good source of job interview questions is your resume. Hiring managers will ask you questions based on your resume. For some people it’s hard to recall what you did last week, let alone what you did at work a few years ago. So it pays to review your resume before you go to your job interview.

I did my nfpa i and ii and graduated from fire academy a year ago and I am still trying to get in. Sometimes I don’t know what they are looking for. I had an interview 2 months ago and I thought it went well but I guess not well enough. What makes me frustrated is a copy of guys I went to academy with got jobs right away but they were weak. I can’t think of any reason except they are of minority groups. Not fair.
