Career Firefighter Positions

11/7/2023

Flint Hill Fire District is pleased to announce applications are now being accepted for a full-time Firefighter I or Firefighter II.  Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.

FHFD staffs two stations 24/7/365 with 3-4 firefighter engine companies working 48-hour shifts. A ladder/service company is placed in service as staffing allows.

The department currently employs 24 career firefighters (including the open position) and 14 part-time firefighters.

We are an ISO Class 2 fire department, meeting or exceeding the ISO training standards annually. We like to train! We are steadily improving our NFPA 1710 compliance. 

Our incident volume reflects the urban nature of our 15.4 sq. mi. fire district. We preplan over 1,030 businesses annually and have a resident population of  about 30,000.  We expect a significant increase in our incident volume as several major commercial and residential developments are planned, underway, or have recently been completed.  In 2022 FHFD responded to 2,661 incidents.  Our incident ratio is holding steady at 65/45 (fire/medical).

Our five-year plan includes adding 3 battalion chiefs, additional staffing of existing engine companies, a full-time ladder company, and opening a 3rd station. 

FHFD converted to a 48/96 shift work schedule in October 2023 on a six-month trial basis.  So far the stakeholder feedback has been overwhelmingly positive so the change will likely be permanent.

If you are interested in becoming part of our rapidly growing department, we encourage you to apply. Applications may be submitted by U.S. Mail, E-mail, or hand delivered.  Click HERE for details.
