DAY FIREFIGHTERS NEEDED <br /> We are seeking mature, stable people that are able to respond during daytime hours, from six in <br /> the morning to six in the evening. If you are available on a regular basis for the majority of this <br /> time, then come in and talk to us. <br /> If you have a strong commitment to serve your community and help your fellow neighbor then the <br /> fire department can offer you many challenges and rewards. The fire department offers many <br /> services to the community other than fire suppression. Our public education committee <br /> researches and develops programs on fire safety and the entire crew gets involved in presenting <br /> these to the public. The investigation division investigates every fire to determine the cause, if <br /> arson is involved we work with the police agencies to bring these people to justice. We have the <br /> most comprehensive juvenile Firesetter program in the State. We work with families and kids to <br /> help them understand the dangers of fire and the consequences of playing with fire. <br /> Every summer we have many pieces of our apparatus in various parades around the community. <br /> Every winter we take Santa on the fire truck throughout the three communities and deliver good <br /> will and candy canes to the people who live here. <br /> The personal rewards are many. Friendships that last for a lifetime are routine on the fire <br /> department. Educational opportunities are endless in the fire service. Personal growth, teaching <br /> opportunities, and combating the deadly threat of fire are some of the challenges that await you. <br /> There is a down side in belonging to the fire department. You will be inconvenienced by calls in <br /> the middle of the night. Fire calls will interrupt your family dinner or other plans you may have <br /> made. You might be late or too tired to go to work. Fighting fires may take only a small part of <br /> the time you are on. Cleanup, training and all the other activities will take up far more time than <br /> the actual fire fighting. What we do is very dangerous, training helps us keep safe and we have an <br /> excellent long term safety record. <br /> If you are the stable, mature, community service oriented individual we seek, please give us a call <br /> and we will set up a time to talk with you. Our requirements state that you must stay on the day <br /> shift for at least three years, pass an agility test, and complete 60 hours of recruit training over a <br /> six week time period. We drill once a week and you are required to make 28 out of 52 weekly <br /> drills. You will be assigned to one of our five stations and you must make 30% of all the fire calls <br /> received by that station. This is calculated on a quarterly basis. <br /> Spring Lake Park- Blaine - Mounds View Fire Department <br /> 1710 Highway 10 Spring Lake Park, MN 55432 786-4436 <br />
