I don't know what is driving the time requirements, but I've got to tell you, 15 minutes for a Cop, Firefighter, EMT type job just isn't enough. Unless you already know the candidates and are checking off boxes.
Maybe enough for a greeter at S-mart. Shop Smart! Shop S-mart! ;-]
I agree about the 15 minutes, I would bet a hopeful at Mcdonalds would get at least 30 min. I would think any fire scenario questions should be general ie if your on the way to work and see an accident do you? stuff like that lets face it a lot of guys are not going to have any idea of the technical stuff and probably dont know the right answer yet. I can remember my interview was pretty generic, any mental or physical probs, scared of heights? typical interview stuff. good luck, sorry I wasnt more help, 15 minutes..bad idea
Are you looking for combat type question or a ethical question....Call me or write me back...

I agree with Larry on the time requirements. Also, sticking to scenario questions will give you limited insight into the individual. I remember my interview also had questions dealing with personal ethics.
How many candidates. How many people that can read and grade responses. Get help from other trainers/supervisors from neighboring Depts. Divide the pool up and keep it to 4-6 candidates per evaluator.
You can also pre screen and move to the top if any of these people are coming from Vollie depts and you trust the Company Officers.
In the worst case, have six to twelve month probation. Keep the top eight names on your Rolodex.
