2021 HIRING PROCESS FAQs & SCHEDULE
NOTE: All dates are subject to change! The next stage of the hiring process are Pre-Employment Physicals & Background Checks. As a reminder, firefighters perform physically demanding job functions in various challenging and intense environments. We encourage candidates to make physical fitness, conditioing, and overall wellness a priority.
Q: I have completed all onboarding tasks, when will I receive my final offer of employment?
A: Final offer letter dates will vary based on completion of onboarding and receipt of background checks. Some background check results may be delayed, but should not affect your start date (with the exception of physical results). If a result is delayed, you will receive an updated conditional offer and will still be allowed to start the fire academy. A final offer will be mailed once all results have been received and cleared.
