Department Overview:
Arvada is 10 miles from downtown Denver and just a short drive from the mountains and the great outdoor activities that Colorado is known for.
Arvada Fire operates nine active fire stations covering approximately 43 square miles in the City of Arvada, the northern portion of the City of Wheat Ridge, and portions of unincorporated Jefferson County. Arvada Fire employs over 200 employees who serve approximately 133,000 citizens.
We proudly serve our citizens and each other with dedication, integrity, compassion, courage, and respect. Our mission is to preserve life, property, and the environment.
Arvada Fire is internationally accredited by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) and has been awarded a Class 1 Public Protection Classification (PPC) from the Insurance Services Office (ISO). We are one of eight agencies in Colorado and one of 113 agencies nationally with accreditation status and an ISO Class 1 rating.
Arvada Fire is dedicated to responder safety. This is evident in our commitment to providing modern response equipment, top of the line Personal Protective Equipment, hands-on live action training, and by leveraging cutting edge technology before, during and after responses.
New hires will attend Fire Academy which will be a 40-hour per week schedule for approximately 16 weeks. After academy, employees will be assigned to a 48/96 schedule, which allows flexibility in choosing where to live and plenty of time to take advantage of all that Colorado has to offer!
Employees receive excellent pay and benefits, continual training, education opportunities, and promotional opportunities.
Firefighting is physically demanding. In order to pass academy and successfully perform the duties of the position, candidates and firefighters must maintain a high level of physical fitness. Candidates will be physically tested during the hiring process, periodically during academy and annually once hired.
