Linden Fire Department is Hiring!

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 21:48:08 GMT

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.

Applications for the Fire Department can be found here or at City Hall during business hours: Application for Firefighters

Civic Plus - Weather Alerts

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:39:44 GMT

City of Linden is able to send you emergency alerts via text message, email, pager, or voice mail (in extreme cases), based on your preferences. It is important that we collect this contact information because many households no longer utilize traditional land-based telephone lines.

The system is intended to be used for emergency alerts, as well as non-emergency incidents that may have significant impacts to residents. Emergency Alerts could be related to specific hazards that require some kind of action be taken such as evacuation, shelter in place, boil water orders, etc. Non-emergency alerts could include significant transportation problems with prolonged impacts or significant ongoing police or fire activity. This list is not meant to be all inclusive, and demonstrates that this system will not be used for routine information. In addition to receiving information on your wireless device, you may also receive notification on your land telephone line (if you have one) depending on the type of incident or event.

Please provide your address and preferred method(s) of contact. Adding your address will allow tailoring so you do not receive alerts that don’t pertain to your geographical area.

These alerts are provided free of charge, however standard text messaging rates and other charges may apply.

If you wish to subscribe to SMS text messages only, text your zip code to 38276. There is also a mobile app available.

If you would like to sign up for notifications or add the weather option: https://portal.civicplus.com/MI-Linden/dashboard
