Career
Opportunities
Interested in joining us? Most of the Department’s Fire
Fighting and EMS positions are part-time/on-call positions. If
you are interested in helping your community, willing to respond to
calls for emergency assistance, and able to complete the required
training the City of Northville Fire Department may be the place for
you!
 Most
of our personnel are employed full time in other public and private
sector positions, and bring that experience and expertise to the
Department. Our Fire Fighters include an Airline Pilot, Maintenance Supervisor, Lawn Service
Contractor, Public Works employees, Police Officer, Paramedics,
Electrician, Funeral Director and Lawyer, just to name a few.
 To apply
you need to be at least 18 years old. You must also have
obtained Fire Fighter I certification from the State of Michigan and
must successfully complete the Council of Western Wayne written and
physical agility tests, or have completed Fire Fighter I training
and certification through a Department sponsored class. Some
of these requirements may be waived if you have worked for another
fire department. The Department strongly encourages all
personnel to complete Fire Fighter II training and to obtain EMS
licensure at the Medical First Responder, Emergency Medical
Technician or Paramedic level. Applications for employment are
available at City Hall or by clicking on the link below.

 Our personnel are part-time City employees, and are paid
