The Holden Fire Department is always looking for new personnel to become on-call firefighters! The basic requirements for becoming an on-call firefighter are that you must be a high school graduate, successfully pass a medical examination and a physical abilities test, and have a desire to be on-call for emergencies when available in town. State law requires that new hires now be non-smokers. It is preferred that you live within a reasonable distance to either of two stations. Training will be provided by the department. If hired, you will be required annually to maintain a level of first aid training, CRP, and hazardous material awareness, in addition to firefighting training. Every four years you will be required to successfully pass a medical exam and every 2 years you must pass a physical abilities test.
Firefighting is a dangerous, yet truly rewarding profession. If you have any questions or you are interested and feel qualified to offer some of your time for training and to be on call, please contact us to set up an interview, either in person, by phone, e-mail, or stop by the Town Managers office and pick up an application. The Town of Holden is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Anyone with questions can contact us at 508-829-0266 or stop in at Fire Headquarters Station at 1384 Main Street, Holden.
The Department also has a new Auxiliary Program which allows limited participation with reduced requirements and an Explorer Program for younger members. Call for more information!
