I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency in May 2017
Interview
There wasn't an interview to be a Crew Member. Just pass the fitness test and you go directly into a hiring pool and from what I have heard they just hire whoever is next on the list. There was an interview for Crew Leader though but it is a pass/fail. The position is awarded to whichever applicant passes and has the most seniority. I submitted my application directly to my Fire Protection Officer at the time. I can't recall if it was only posted internally or not.
They posed a situational question: Gave me a certain number of fire trucks and hand-crews, a fire size and direction with a fuel type, and a specific water source location and asked how I would handle it.
