About the role

Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department seeks candidates for an entry-level Fire and Rescue Recruit. Recruits enter the Recruit Academy for comprehensive training in firefighting, EMS, rescue, vehicle ops, fire prevention, and public education to prepare for full-time field operations. Completion hinges on maintaining an 80% GPA, passing the WPE, and meeting physical and conduct standards, with promotion to Firefighter/EMT after academy and probation.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
