Volunteer Firefighter Interview An evening will be scheduled for you to be interviewed at the Fire Station by the Interview Committee. This will consist of several questions that will allow us to get to know you a little better and also allow you to ask questions of us. This interview will last 15 to 20 minutes and will be scheduled after the Applications have been completed and the Background Investigations are received and are acceptable.
Physical Each Firefighter candidate approved by the Interview Committee will receive a complete medical and physical evaluation to determine if the candidate can perform the essential functions of the position. This evaluation will be conducted at the District’s expense, and will be performed by a Licensed physician who is by contract providing this service for the Fire District. Appointment as a Firefighter is contingent upon passing this physical.
