Fire Department Hiring Process
The Bakersfield Fire Department has a lot of history behind and has been around for over one hundred years. I decided to write on the Bakersfield Fire Department because this is the department that I would like to work for one day.
The hiring for the Bakersfield Fire Department is a little harder than a lot of others in the state of California. Before you can even apply you must go through what we call a firefighter 1 academy. This academy is held at the Olive Drive training facility. In order to get into the Olive Drive training facility you must first complete an application that will include the following:
O Completed application
O Resume
O 3 letters of recommendation
Only the first 50 applicants will receive an oral interview and be allowed
to complete a time-allotted physical agility test. The top 30 applicants
must successfully complete a physical examination before being allowed
to attend the Firefighter I Academy. The Olive Drive training facility conducts an academy every January.
Only the first 50 applicants will be accepted to take the oral interview and take a time allotted physical agility test. Then the top 30 applicants will be given a physical examination
