The recruitment team is the result of a 2006 class action lawsuit. One for one hiring is gone however each class has a certain amount of mount of minority candidates added so the entire department reflects the community that BFD serves. The recruitment team is made of a Captain and several firefighters out to ensure certain people know about the exam.

Long breath in....long sigh out
I really hate the fact that people who truly don't want this job are being actively "recruited". One would think that if you really wanted to be a fireman, at the least, you would know how to start the process and take the test. Sometimes I am glad I left PC Massachusetts.
On another note, I am glad to see Boston getting some new apparatus. I wish they would keep the Boston logo/font. It was truly a defining feature of the department. They should put the shamrocks back on too.
