3 Simple Steps

1. Open Google Maps on your computer or mobile device.

2. Type “fire department” or “fire station” in the search bar.

3. Hover over the flag, find and visit their website to inquire about job opportunities.

Google Maps does not have a built-in feature to find all of the fire departments in the United States in a single search. However, you can use Google Maps to find individual fire departments or search for fire departments in specific locations. 

You can add a specific location to narrow down your search. For example, you can search for “fire department in New York” to find fire departments in New York.

Google Maps will display fire department locations near the entered location, along with markers on the map.

Click on a marker to view more information about the selected fire department, such as its name, address, and contact details.

To find other fire departments in different locations, repeat the search process by changing the location in the search bar.

Fire department websites are going to be your best resource when looking for job opening details. 

Visit the websites of fire departments in your desired location. They often list job openings and provide application instructions.

Most fire department websites allow you to submit your application and notify you when they’re hiring, this process is often referred to as “Job Alerts” or “Notification Lists.” Here’s a bit more detail on each:

Job Alerts

Job alerts are a feature commonly found on job search websites or career portals. Users can set up alerts based on specific criteria such as location, job type, and keywords.

When a fire department website offers job alerts, you would typically create an account or profile on their site and set up preferences for the types of firefighting jobs you’re interested in.

When a job opening matching your preferences becomes available, the system sends you an email or notification, allowing you to apply promptly.

Notification Lists

A notification list is a way for individuals to express their interest in future job openings without applying for a specific position right away.

Fire department websites might have a section where you can join their notification list by providing your contact information and relevant details. This indicates your interest in potential job openings.

When the fire department plans to hire, they can contact individuals on their notification list to inform them about the opportunity and invite them to apply.

Both job alerts and notification lists are designed to keep interested candidates informed about job opportunities, ensuring they take advantage of potential openings. It’s a way for fire departments to maintain a pool of interested and qualified candidates for future hiring needs.
