WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for EMTs, or someone who would like to become an EMT, with experience working with vulnerable populations and who enjoy serving and working for the public.

Capital City Fire Rescue has overseen the Community Health Division, previously known as the CARES program, for its seventh year now. While continuing to expand our scope to increasingly help our community, we are simultaneously providing training and opportunities to grow for our employees.
