Candidates are
asked to possess at
least an associate
degree in fire admin-
istration, although a
bachelor’s degree or
degree from a federal
fire officer program
would be considered.
A public administra-
tion degree is con-
sidered a plus, along
with experience in a
“closely related field
or a satisfactory com-
bination of education
and experience that
demonstrate the abil-
ity to perform the fire
chief job duties.”
Candidates are
required to have at
least eight years full-
time paid experience,
with at least five years
of supervisory expe-
rience in a command
position of captain or
higher. Emergency
medical technician
basic training is a pre-
requisite, although
paramedic training is
preferred.
