Cambridge Fire

[cfd37buckeye]

Not sure of the exact date yet, but the Cambridge Fire Dept. will be conducting a Civil Service Exam to fill the position of Fire Inspector/Firefighter. I believe they are talking mid July. We run Fire/Rescue only. Must have 240 and EMT to take the test. $20 application fee. Military gets extra % on the test. Shift is 24/48. This is an excellent time to get in, we are a small dept. and we are looking at 3-5 retirements in the next 2-4 years. This test could get you in. Salary starts at around 45K. I will post up full details when civil service releases them.
