ABOUT THE HISTORIC

CITY OF LINDEN, MICHIGAN


The City of Linden is a vibrant community that takes pride in its historic charm. Forming around our present downtown at the intersection of Bridge and Broad, the Village of Linden was established in 1871, with structures dating back to 1840. We have grown from a village into a well-established city (1988), home to a population of about 4,000 residents and many thriving small shops, restaurants, and local businesses. Whether you are visiting our community or looking for a place to call home, Linden is a great place to live, learn, work, play and hangout.

The City of Linden Fire Department is currently accepting applications for the position of probationary paid on-call firefighters (volunteer), especially those that are available during the daytime hours. If you are looking for a way to give back to your community and experience the rewards of hard work and a great team atmosphere, please submit an application to the Fire Department. The Linden Fire Department is made up of paid, on-call volunteers who are residents of our local community. Many of us are your neighbors, co-workers, or friends. Linden's firefighters do not live at the fire station or spend all day working a shift at the fire station. We are a group of men and women who have everyday jobs, but are ready to go at any time that a call comes in. We might be builders, landscapers, farmers, business owners, stay-at-home parents, or even retirees; but when the call comes we become part of a dedicated team ready to face any emergency. We may be volunteers, but we are trained and capable people on the front line saving lives and property. Minimum qualifications for the position of probationary paid on-call firefighters include: Live in or near the City of Linden's Fire Department service area. Must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. Must provide proof of High School Graduation or G.E.D. Must be physically able to perform the duties of a firefighter. Must pass a physical exam and drug screen. Must be able to pass a physical agility test. Must have a valid driver's license. A valid Michigan driver's license is required for initial employment and must be maintained while an employee. A satisfactory background check conducted for criminal record, driving record, and personal history. Must possess and/or be able to acquire firefighter certification as mandated by the State of Michigan Fire Fighters Training Council. Upon completion of all probationary requirements and a successful job evaluation, probationary firefighters will be eligible for promotion to the position of paid on-call firefighter.
