Firefighters
Become a Firefighter!

Few professions provide the sense of accomplishment and personal enrichment that fire service professionals enjoy. There is tremendous satisfaction in having saved a life, controlled a structure fire, comforted an accident victim, or taught a skill that prevented a child from becoming injured. Becoming a paid on-call firefighter may be one of the most personally rewarding things you could ever do. ??

The *Mendota Heights Fire Department* annually hires new firefighters to begin the Department's training program in the fall. If you are interested in learning more about what it takes to become a firefighter, complete a *Firefighter Interest Form [ [link removed] ]* today and consider attending an information session on?*March 28 at 6 p.m. or May 13 at 9 a.m.*, at the Mendota Heights Fire Station (2121 Dodd Road).

*Applications will be accepted March 13?May 13.*?The next Fire Academy class begins Thursday, Aug. 3.?
