Job Description
|
| In April 2008, Weir Volunteer Fire Department will conduct physical agility examinations and interviews to establish an eligibility list for the position of Resident Firefighter. The deadline for applications is March 21, 2008. Testing and interviews will be conducted over the first weekend in April (Friday 4/4 through Sunday 4/6). Remodeling of the station is being done now to accommodate this program, and should be complete prior to the testing weekend.
At this time, we cannot afford to hire paid firefighters, but staffing is necessary to help cover our increasing call volume. We intend to integrate this program with paid staff in the future, making this a permanent part of our department. In July, 2008 WVFD will appoint 6 Resident Firefighters. We will provide free residency in return for Resident Firefighters working a 24-hour on/48-hour off shift cycle. Necessary turnout gear and uniforms will be provided to you. WVFD is asking for a minimum of a 12-month commitment to the program. Resident Firefighters are not permitted to hold full-time jobs while in the program, but are strongly encouraged to have part-time employment that does not interfere with their shift obligations. There is no pay or stipend involved with this program. Resident Firefighters will be allowed time off for scheduled classes, but must make arrangements with another Resident Firefighter to trade time. Resident Firefighters will be required to establish WVFD as their full-time residence. Candidates must be unmarried and not have custody of any children.
