Application period to open for Danbury firefighter positions

Danbury is looking to hire some entry level firefighters this summer.  The application period closes Tuesday for the position with a salary of about $52,000 year.  Fire Chief Geoff Herald says Danbury firefighters are responsible for not only fire suppression, but also protecting city residents and property. 

 

The Department hasn't hired new members since 2008 and has vacancies created through retirements. 

 

There are a number of requirements applicants must meet including having a high school diploma--or equivalent, a valid driver's license, a current Candidate Physical Agility Test and  current Connecticut or National Registry EMT certification. 

 

Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

 

Herald says there will be written, oral, psychological and physical exams along with background checks.  There will be an information session on April 30th at 7pm in Council Chambers of City Hall.

 

Applications are only being accepted electronically through a link on the city's website or through FirefighterApp.

 

As paper applications will not be accepted, internet access is available at the Human Resources/Civil Service Department, Danbury City Hall 155 Deer Hill Ave Danbury, CT 06810.  A $75 application fee is required and payable online.
