Fire Recruit Expo 2005

This special free event will be held Saturday, April 2, from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m at the Marriott Bethesda North Hotel and Conference Center, 5701 Marinelli Road, North Bethesda, Maryland (near the White Flint Metro station). It will offer:

• Information on fire agencies nationwide
• Free career-development workshops
• Advice on how to prepare for a fire service job
• A close-up look at firefighting equipment

The Expo is your chance to meet and talk with representatives of fire service employers from Maryland, Virginia, and across the country, as well as from federal wildland fire agencies, about the many job opportunities available in firefighting, fire management, fire protection, and emergency medical services. Fire recruiters will be on hand to give you information about hiring criteria, testing procedures, recruit training, and preparation for the job.

Because the Expo is being held as part of the 11th International Conference of Fire Service Women, you will also get the chance to talk with women firefighters about the job: why it's so great, and what you need to know in order to succeed.

Admission to Fire Recruitment Expo 2005 is free. We hope you can make it, and we look forward to seeing you there!
