The City authorized the creation of a Part Time Firefighter wait list on November 5, 2019 to fill vacancies

successful completion of the Psychological Evaluation, Medical Evaluation, Abilities Test, Background
Screening, and Drug Screening, the applicants will be placed on the department as Part Time Firefighters
under a six month probationary period.
The addition of two Part Time Firefighters will bring Part Time Fire staff to 7 members, which is fully
staffed and will allow for seven days a week coverage.
