Paul Passed the Written!

So, we got the EXCELLENT news today!! Paul passed the written exam for getting hired on at Portland Fire and Rescue! The firefighter hiring process is a 3-step process. The first hurdle is to pass the written exam with a high enough score that they allow you to move forward to the next piece. This is were we are, we just found out Paul passed today! The next step is for him to complete a panel interview with the higher-ups in the Portland District. The third piece is to pass the Physical Agility Test, or PAT. It's a rigorous physical test, kinda like a very intense firefighter obstacle course. We're so excited, and can't wait to find out the dates of the next step! I'll keep you posted!
