Falcon Heights Volunteer Fire Department

Volunteer Firefighters Needed!

Falcon Heights relies on a paid-on-call, volunteer fire department.

The work is very rewarding — you can see first hand what you have accomplished, and people are very grateful for your service. Although the Falcon Heights Fire Department is not a full-time department, you will be trained as a professional, and you will work as a professional. Fires do not recognize the difference between full-time and paid-per-call firefighters!

Minimum Requirements:

• Minimum 18 years of age
• Pass a physical exam (paid for by the department)
• Live/work in the City of Falcon Heights
• Live within a two-mile driving radius of the station, or be within a five-minute drive
• If you do not meet these requirements, your application will still be reviewed by the department

Benefits:

• City-provided gear, clothing, uniforms, and pager
• 120 hours of basic firefighting training, and 45 hours of First Responder training, paid for by the city
• Eligibility for worker’s compensation
• Membership in the Firefighters Relief Association, and a 20-year service pension upon reaching 50 years of age
