What does the application process look like?

What does the physical agility test consist of?
The physical agility test consists of a keiser sled, dragging a charged hose line, carrying of a high rise pack, stair climbing, and dummy drag.
Do I need to have any knowledge of firefighting before I start the fire academy?
No, there is no requirement of any prior firefighting knowledge. Throughout the academy, you will be taught all there is to know about firefighting. You will go over topics such as haz-mat, hose handling, building construction, fire behavior, and tactics and strategies.
How long is the fire academy?
The Pasadena Fire Academy is a 13 week academy that meets every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. (Tuesday/Thursday 6pm-10pm & Saturday 8am-5pm)
As a volunteer firefighter, do I get paid?
As a volunteer firefighter, you do not get paid. However, you do receive a reimbursement fee for each call that you make. Plus, you get one of the best retirement pension plans that any volunteer fire department has to offer.
What is the time commitment once I graduate the fire academy?
Once you graduate the fire academy, you will receive a pager that will alert you for the calls that are toned for your fire station. You must make 25% percent of the calls that are toned out for your district. Plus, every Monday night thereโs continuous training at your station that you must make 40% of.
What type of certification will I get at the end of the academy?
Upon your completion of the Pasadena Fire Academy, you will have the skills portion of Firefighter I (SFFMA) completed. You will then have to complete the written portion of the certification to then become certified as Firefighter I (SFFMA).
