Ask A Firefighter Question about pre employment alcohol testing
I’m 22 and had a question regarding what kind of test will be done to check for alcohol consumption for my fire department. I don’t drink often but last night I got plastered for a buddy’s birthday. I was wondering if it will just be a simple BAC test or a urine test or what. Looking online the urine test can detect it for up to 80 hours or more after heavy drinking. I know that I’m going in for a physical and urinalysis and that’s it. I was never told to not use mouthwash with alcohol the day of or whatever.

It’s not that in-depth. Just don’t be drunk when you go in to test
