Career Firefighter
Qualified applicants will have the State of Wisconsin Firefighter 1 and the Emergency Medical Responder or higher certifications.
Paid On-Call Firefighters
No previous experience or training is needed; only the willingness to make the commitment to learn and serve. Firefighters in this category train with their full-time counterparts and fill a vital role in the department. Depending on geographic area you may respond to a pager when additional staff are needed and/or fill open shifts on a crew.
