Join the San Francisco Fire Department!

Join us, and you'll be joining one of the fire departments with the most women! This means extra support for you within the organization in your new career.

The San Francisco Fire Department is currently recruiting candidates for firefighter, with special emphasis on paramedics, EMT's, Spanish speakers, and Cantonese speakers. Previous residency requirements have been dropped.

If you would like to apply, you must pick up an application on July 27th or 28th, 2001, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., from the Division of Training at 19th St. and Folsom in San Francisco. The application must be dropped off in person on August 5th or 6th at the same place and times. It is unknown at this time whether people will be permitted to pick up or drop off applications on behalf of others.

Please note that these dates have been changed once already. You can call for updates at the United Fire Service Women's answering machine at (415) 789-8161, where a recorded message will advise you regarding changes or new information.

The job announcement will be posted at the Department of Human Resources at 44 Gough Street, San Francisco, as of July 13, 2001. That document will contain other information regarding minimum qualifications. In the past, some of these have been that the applicant be over the age of 18 and have a high school education or equivalent, a valid driver's license, and no felony convictions.
