Has anyone else received a canvas letter from the town of mamaroneck?

Yes I received a letter last week from Mamaroneck... it was my second letter from them. The first letter had a lower salary back in February then the second one I received last week.

I received a canvass letter from MFD dated 2/17/17. I faxed my response. Good luck everyone.

Usually Westchester offers the CPAT twice a year, in February and then again in August. Like i said in an earlier post, there are already a fair number of people within the 100s who took the CPAT in February. Just stay healthy, in the gym, and taking tests and you'll do fine.

The names on the Westchester County Fire Academy website do not match any names that are on the list for the exam held on March 25, 2015. That would lead me to believe that the canvass letters sent out by Scarsdale would be for the Spring class. CPAT, interview and mental review would be held this fall. 

Am I correct in my thinking?

How long after replying to the canvass letter, should you expect to hear a response for the CPAT? Thanks.

guys and gals,  stop worrying about the pay  and steps  and work charts.  Focus on one thing at a time.  FAIL cpat  and you wont have to worry about anything else. Come to the test prepared or don't bother coming,  there are 300 people behind you on the list that will take your spot!!

Smartest thing said on this thread so far... I guess we are all anxious to know the next steps. Thanks for all the insight. If anyone gets a letter for the CPAT, let us know. Thanks and good luck!

If they have a bunch of guys who have alreAdy passed the agility, why would they need to send more?

I'm thinking they would send more because after the agility, there's the psych eval and an interview. Even if someone passes the agility, they still have 2 additional steps which , from what I understand, are not a walk in the park. They want the best and will exhaust the pool of candidates to do so...

Thanks for the info. I work out at crossfit so I'm confident with the physical part. Is the next step the CPAT?

How long does it take to reach each step? What's the work schedule like?

I received a canvass letter from Scarsdale. I filled it out and replied yesterday by fax and mail. I was looking around for the Scarsdale FF contract which I found thanks to this thread I have a couple questions maybe someone can clear up..

1) What does the workweek schedule like?

2) How long does proby pay last?

3) What is the pay scale structure?

4) What is work life like in the Scarsdale Fire Department? 

5) After receiving and replying to the canvass letter... what should I expect next? How long?

Any info would be great! Thanks
