    just curious because i know a few of the members on this board are firefighters/paramedics/police, are any of you EVT certified mechanics? i'm planning on doing my Level 1 fire fighting vehicle exam in october and would like to hear your experiences with the exams. i have no experience working on fire trucks but i'm trying to get a job at a fire truck outfitting company as a mechanic and would eventually like a job at a local fire hall. any input is appreciated!

    Not I. Guys at work joke around that our mechanics just use duct tape.

    I don't even know what an EVT is, and I've worked EMS (in California) over 10 years...

    Maybe it's a Canada thing?

    its a specialized certification for mechanics. depending on where your vehicles get serviced/worked on while you're not in them you may not have ever met someone with evt certification. i think it mostly applies to fire departments/equipment, since most police/ems vehicles would likely be serviced at their brands dealerships (ford, chevy, etc...)
