Firefighters are responsible for responding to emergency situations and assisting in the control and resolution of the situation.
Fire Police
Fire Police – This program provides vital protection for emergency workers operating on or near the roadway, such as during vehicle fires and vehicle accidents.

Firefighter Intern
Firefighter Intern – This program provides a path from volunteer to career firefighter positions. Through the program, interns receive training, participate in "ride alongs" with career staff, and begin to form a path into the career fire service. This program requires the candidate to commit to learning the skills necessary to become a career firefighter. It is expected that the candidate will enroll in the required educational programs to become a firefighter/EMT or Paramedic while volunteering. In return, the City will give employment preference to those that are participating in this program over other, external applicants.
