Firefighters are required to maintain a 35 percent attendance record for emergency calls and drills.

Firefighters must be 18 years of age or older and possess a high school diploma or G.E.D. and a valid driver's license. The selection process includes an oral interview, physical agility testing, a background check and psychological, medical and drug testing.
