Finding firefighter employment online

Posted by on August 27th, 2012

There are a number of requirements a candidate must fulfil before being considered for firefighter employment. While each application will be considered on individual merit, there are some essential pre-requisites.

 

Firefighters are usually over the age of 18 and high school graduates, while a valid license is also a basic requirement. A record free of drug use, traffic violations or felonies is essential.

 

Other requirements for firefighter employment

There are other, more advanced requirements that can assist individuals seeking firefighter employment. These include the Candidate Physical Ability Test, Emergency Medical Technician certification, paramedic certification and firefighter certification.

Some fire departments will require candidates to be bilingual or to have a college degree.
