How and where can I go through the training academy?
Our training academy is designed and operated for those firefighter-recruits who are hired after our testing process.
Do I need to be a certified firefighter?
No, it is not required. However, any training or schooling in the firefighting field may be of assistance in the testing process.
What can I do to prepare for the application process?
Evaluate any fire science classes offered at a college near you. Be physically fit, specifically in the areas of cardiovascular and upper body strength. Familiarize yourself with fire department operations and programs. See information about the Recruitment Process .
How often do you hire?
We hire off of our eligibility list periodically throughout the year as openings occur from retirement or new positions developed.
Do you have paramedic positions?
Yes. Our paramedic positions are available to firefighters who have been on the job one year after completion of the training academy. At that time they are able to test for this assignment position, which is performed in conjunction with their regular firefighter responsibilities.
