Do Fire Departments Test for Roids, Close friend/fire fighter is pondering use, and I said I would ask if you guys knew? Any of you guys fire fighters as well?
Not for a pre-employment or random drug test. I know some that have been tested after they were on the job for awhile, but that was the result of them having other issues.
I know it varies from town to town but here in my town in MA they only test for a pre-employment screening, and never again unless there is reason to. Even the pre-employment screening test is a marijuana/barbituate/amphetamine/pcp test, juice testing is too expensive.
i am a firefighter and i have never heard of anyone getting tested for aas. now if your growing like a weed and having temper problems at work then the captain or chief can have a test done. so just keep it cool.
NO, but as part of a polygraph as a police officer they will and in my interviwe with a fire Department they ask me a ethical question about gear during my panel interview. Its funny. The person who asked me looked as if he may have used in the past.
