The Wood Buffalo Fire Department in Fort McMurray is looking to hire more than a dozen full-time positions this spring.
Openings include training officers, firefighter-paramedics and advanced care paramedics. Applications are also being accepted for a firefighter cadet program aimed at paramedics seeking fire training.
Acting regional fire chief Kelly Roberts said the recruitment comes as the department looks to build capacity and meet growing service demands.
“It’s an exciting time for the department — we’re moving forward, and we’re looking for people to help us build the future,” Roberts said in a statement.
Officials say a priority will be hiring additional training officers to support increased training needs. The roles involve developing and delivering programs for fire suppression, emergency medical services, rescue operations and hazardous materials response.
Applicants must meet minimum requirements, with some positions open to students completing paramedicine programs who can write national certification exams by early May.
