I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Springfield City Fire Rescue Division (Springfield, OH) in Mar 2011
Interview
The process was very intense. First was a written response to 10 questions. No more that 500 words per response. Next was the first of 3 interviews ranging from 4 to 5 hours each. Multiple people each one.
