Ready to Serve Clawson? Apply to be a Volunteer Firefighter

If you'd like to train and gain new skills to help citizens and businesses in Clawson, consider applying to become a firefighter with the Clawson Fire Department.

In a posting from late last year, the city's website indicates that applications are being accepted to join the team. If interested, you can download the application (PDF) from the city's website, fill it out and bring it to the city Clerk's office (425 N. Main St., Clawson).

For a bit of background on what is required of volunteer firefighters, read below. For more information on the Clawson Fire Department, visit cityofclawson.com: 

The department consists of 30 part-paid volunteer fire fighters, currently led by Chief Richard Dylewski, who are all highly trained and skilled. All of the members of our department complete state certified FireFighter I and II training courses, along with completing a state monitored written and practical exam. Additionally, it is required that all members of the Clawson Fire Department must be residents of the City of Clawson.

We are on-call 24 hours a day and respond to any fire, rescue, and extrication emergencies that occur within the city. Members are also part of the Oakland County Strategic Response Unit (SRU) which provides specialized high angle rescue, hazardous materials and confined space rescues.
