The Pasadena Fire Department is an all volunteer organization. If you would like to apply for membership you must be 18 years of age, a resident of Pasadena, and have a valid Texas drivers’ license!
All candidates must pass a background investigation, physical examination, and agility course before being accepted into the Fire Training Academy.
During the 10-12 week Academy, you will participate in classroom instruction and hands-on training in firefighting (ie, hose handling, pump operations, emergency driving, extinguishers, firefighter safety, etc.) and first aid.
The Academy class sessions are each Tuesday and Thursday night (6:00 pm – 10:00 pm) and each Saturday (8 am – 5 pm).
Upon successful completion of the Academy and acceptance into the Department, you will be assigned to the Station closest to your residence, and provided all the equipment necessary to perform your duties as a firefighter.
You will respond to fires in your District and participate in monthly, ongoing training. You will also have the opportunity to participate in additional training offered by outside agencies, such as Municipal Fire School at A&M and the Harris County Fire Fighters Association Field Days.
