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.
