Roseville Seeks More Part-Time Firefighters

The city of Roseville is seeking part-time firefighters, according to Fire Chief Timothy O’Neill.

Currently, Roseville has 54 part-time firefighters and “we are looking to add one to 10, depending on availability of work shift,” O’Neill said. “Ideally, we are in need of daytime firefighters,” he said, noting the city right now has only about a dozen part-time firefighters available for daytime duty. 

O’Neill said the department will also consider applicants for week-end  or night shifts too. 

The duties of part-time, paid on-call firefighters include protecting life and property by performing fire prevention, fire fighting, conducting inspections, holding public education and undertaking rescue and emergency medical services, the city said..

No previous firefighting experience or fire education necessary but must possess a high school diploma or GED, according to the city.  All those hired must pass a general agility test, O’Neill said.  Other qualifications include possessing a valid driver’s license and living  within 10 minutes of a Roseville fire station, the city said.

Starting hourly rate is $9.  For more information and to apply, go to http://agency.governmentjobs.com/roseville/default.cfm.   Application deadline is Monday June 27.
