消防部门的候选人的标准资格应该是什么 - 消防部门外科医生
申请人在消防部门的身体状况是最重要的考虑因素。未来对城市及其部门的消防人的重视将在很大程度上取决于他的身体健康和身体健康，并且他自己的安全也取决于此事。以下论文是对消防队长协会提出的最完整，最有用的贡献之一：
It is my desire to discuss some of the problems which must be decided by the medical officer of a fire department. We are so frequently asked to explain the causes of our rejections of many applicants. The layman cannot always understand the technical reasons for such rejections.
在某些城市中，必须两次对申请人进行身体检查。首先由公务员委员会的体检医师，以及消防部门的医疗官员。可以很容易地理解，如果一名男子被公务员委员会的医学检查员通过，他觉得自己应该被接受到该部门，但是在纽约和费城的城市中，他的大小六个月至一年可能会在公务员委员会的医学主任和他的实际任命时间检查申请人之间的时间；因此，高度必要在任命之前立即重新审视他。
As part of my duties every applicant is examined within an hour of his appointment as a hoseman, and I frequently find causes for rejection which have developed between the time the applicant is examined by the Medical Director of the Civil Service Commission and my own examination.
要考虑的两个主要因素
候选人的检查中有两个主要因素。首先，候选人本人的福利，其次是城市的福利。我们以二十年的方式接受一个男人；也就是说，至少需要二十年的服务。例如，在过去的一周内，一个男人向我报告了准备宣誓就职的人。经检查发现，由于公务员委员会的医学主任在检查后，由于风湿病的袭击，他患有精心发达的心脏病。在我检查时，他的心脏补偿很好，但是有必要拒绝他，因为我必须以二十年的方式接受他站在消防部门的二十年活跃服务。他的朋友非常失望，无法理解我拒绝的原因。
第一印象的重要性
第一印象，而不是总是正确的，通常是最敏锐的。当我们从事新角色工作时，我们的第一印象总是很有趣。我记得我现在对过去二十一年一直担任和担任过的职位的第一印象。当时我的想法是，我不可能取悦所有我显然会被要求取悦的人，在这方面，我的看法并没有发生很大的改变。
当每个人加入消防部门时，都会知道每个人的第一印象。我可以很好地回想起一个显然印象深刻的男人。那是在训练学校的日子之前，他立即被分配到卡车5。在他的第一次火警警报上，他撞到了地板，跳上了设备，骑着大约一个城市街区。然后，他跳下了设备，消失了。
If an applicant for the Fire Department files his application, takes the examination, is declared eligible for appointment, and subsequently is appointed—all being accomplished without political aid—he will realize that it is incumbent upon him to make good in the Department more than the man who is escorted by a politician to file his application, the same politician accompanying him on each one of his trips until he is finally appointed and as frequently thereafter for promised promotions. This is equally as true for the applicant for the Police Department.
在涉及消防部门申请人物理要求的本文中，必须明确地理解，我们正在概括地处理，而不是仅提及费城。
公务员和部门标准应同意
我的荣幸是参观美国大多数大城市的消防部门以及蒙特利尔，伦敦，巴黎和布鲁塞尔的部门。我已经看到了密歇根州大急流城，纽约，纽约和伦敦的消防部门的培训学校的工作。我很幸运能够在伦敦参加该城市消防训练学校之一的毕业演习。本文将是在这些城市收集的一些事实的简历，而不是仅限于费城。
“检查候选人有两个主要因素。首先，候选人本人的福利，其次是城市的福利。我们以二十年的方式接受一个男人；也就是说，至少需要二十年的服务。”
在一些城市,过程是那么的复杂t the Civil Service Commission holds one standard for the men seeking to join the Fire Department and the Medical Officer of the Fire Department has a second standard. This is erroneous. There should be a final decision between the Civil Service Commission and those in authority in the Fire Department as to the requirements for an applicant for the Department. Such requirements should be rigidly enforced.
在公务员委员会成员参加的一次会议上，公务员委员会的体检官，公共安全部主任，消防部门负责人和作家，几个月前举行的某些规则，采用了消防部门的物理标准。这些规则实际上与1925年在密歇根州大急流城的警察和消防外科医生大会上通过的规则相同。
消防外科医生协会的对象
很有可能，你们中很少有人聚集在一起，甚至知道我们协会的存在。七年前，在这个城市组织了警察与消防员协会和公务员委员会的医疗董事协会。该协会的目的是在其会议上讨论与两个部门成员的福利有关的问题 - 政治和火灾。我们已经同意了申请人对警察和火灾局的身体要求，并采用了一项标准，遵循各个城市。我们还标准化了对警察和消防员造成的许多伤害的治疗，例如采用容易发生或schaefer方法来进行人工呼吸。亨德森（Henderson我们组织的成就是一个从1921年的少数医师和外科医生发展到1928年的136个组织。我的目的是讨论我们遇到的一些问题和我们的结论。
申请人的年龄
Let us take as an example the age of the applicant. Our standard, as set at Grand Rapids. Mich., for the age of an applicant for the Bureau of Fire was not less than twenty-one at the time of the mental examination and not over the age of twenty-nine at the time of filing application. This age limit was increased in Philadelphia to not less than twenty-five and not over thirty-eight years at the time of the written examination. I somewhat favor our standard as set at Grand Rapids, as it is believed that 38 years is too old for an applicant. An applicant for the Police Department might be of more mature age than 21, but I do not believe that the acceptance of a candidate of 21 years is a detriment to the Fire Department. We want men who are adaptable, who are not as the lavman says “set in their ways.” Men of 21 to 29 will frankly take more chances than men from 25 to 38. The Fire Department is a hazardous occupation. The same rule held true in the Army. It was found to be more advantageous to take younger men into the Aviation Corps.
总体外观
The applicant must be free from any marked deformity; free from all parasitic or system skin diseases; free from evidences of intemperance in the use of stimulants or drugs. The body must be well proportioned, show good muscular development, and show careful attention to personal cleanliness. Obesity, muscular weakness or poor physique must reject. The girth of the abdomen must not be more than the measurement of the chest at rest.
