Applicants should obtain an application packet in person at Flint Hill Station 1 or download the form HERE.  Note: The application packet is formatted for double sided printing to save paper.

A cover page is provided for applicants to indicate their preferred method(s) of communication with Flint Hill Fire District during the application process.

The application should be completed in its entirety and returned through one of the accepted methods (U.S. mail, Email, or hand delivery between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Mon. – Fri.).

Applicants may include supporting documentation such as training transcripts, resumes, letters of recommendation, etc. Do not submit more than 10 pages of attachments.

Once an application is submitted, applicants should wait to hear from the department. The applicant will be sent an acknowledgement that their application was received. Applicants should not contact the department regarding the status of their application. If an application is accepted, the applicant will be notified to report for the administration of the Physical Ability Test (PAT) and interview. Applicants will be given a minimum of two weeks to prepare for the test.

Applicants are required to sign the Physical Agility Test Release form to participate in the PAT. An overview of the PAT is provided to assist in preparing for the test.

Applicants who successfully complete PAT may be invited to a 1-hour panel interview. Applicants arriving late will be removed from further consideration.

Applicants who successfully complete the interview will be considered candidates for employment.

Applicants may progress through the testing and interview phases of the employment process individually or in groups. Applicants should be prepared for delays between phases if applicants are grouped. Applicants will be notified of their status after each phase.

When a final candidate is chosen, a job offer will be extended to that candidate. If the candidate accepts the offer they will complete the last phase of the employment process – an NFPA 1582 compliant physical exam, a criminal background check, and a drug test. These will typically occur within one to two weeks of acceptance of a job offer.

If a final candidate successfully completes the last phase of the employment process they will be notified, and a start date will be negotiated. They will be assigned to a shift and begin their probationary period on their start date.

If a final candidate fails any portion of the last phase, another candidate may be chosen to complete the last phase of the employment process. If there are no additional candidates, the application period will remain open until a candidate completes the employment process.
