After successful completion of an arson background check, you will be asked to come for interview with the Board of Directors on the third Thursday of said month. After the interview your applications will be presented to Fire Department body for approval for probationary membership. The applicant is then required for approval for probationary status by the board of Fire Commissioners. Shortly after that the applicant will be contacted by one of our line officers to get started. You will need to complete a physical for full membership. All new members start as probationary firefighters or EMT. The probationary period lasts 1 year. During this time the probationary firefighter must attend meetings and drills and must successfully complete all training requirements in order to meet the minimum qualifications as an interior firefighter.

Most training is hands-on, however a written and practical exam must be completed to show competency in all subjects covered throughout your training.
