The department also shows its commitment to fire-and-life-safety training by hosting monthly live fire, extrication, and EMS training. As the Provo City Airport has continued to expand commercial business, we have also expanded our airport firefighter operations. Qualified applicants interested in participating in the expansion and growth of the Provo Fire Department are encouraged to apply.

Provo City offers competitive pay; paid leaves, including vacation, sick, holidays, bereavement, and parental leaves; generous employer-paid health insurance; retirement and pension plans; free use of the Provo Recreation Center, Peaks Ice Arena, and City Library; and regular review of compensation practices to remain competitive with the local market among many other great benefits.

  • Operates equipment and vehicles such as pumps, nozzles, ladders, hydrants, extinguishers, generators, etc.
  • Searches for and rescues victims from buildings, autos, mountains, etc.
  • Participates in post-emergency salvage operations and cleanup.
  • Assists in pre-fire planning and development of property maps and sketches.
  • Cleans and maintains firefighting equipment, station, and grounds.
  • Participates in drills and training sessions.
  • Assists in educating the public and performs other related duties as required.

To apply, you need:

  • High school diploma or equivalent (GED).
  • Current Paramedic License through the Utah State Bureau of EMS standards and have been employed in that capacity within the last 6 months.
  • Firefighter I & II certifications (NFPA and Utah Fire and Rescue Academy standards).
  • A valid, lawful Utah State driver license.

Lateral transfers may be brought in at the Firefighter/Paramedic, Senior Firefighter/Paramedic, or Master Firefighter/Paramedic level depending on qualifications.

The selection process includes a physical test (CPAT) and a Command Staff interview. Offers of employment are conditional upon successful completion of a background investigation and drug screening.

Provo is a strong, community-centered city with thriving neighborhoods, dedicated residents, and a deep tradition of service and innovation. We build on these strengths by making city government more transparent and efficient, expanding diverse and affordable housing, revitalizing local business districts, and investing in smarter infrastructure and transportation. By planning growth thoughtfully and managing resources responsibly, we maintain a future for Provo that is vibrant, connected and welcoming for families, students, seniors, and business for generations to come. All of this makes Provo well-managed, friendly, economically vibrant, and livable for people at all stages of life.
