SLC Fire Chief Karl Lieb

This spring, SLC Fire will begin the process to hire entry-level firefighters! This is an exciting time for individuals who are pursuing a career in firefighting. But it's just as exciting for our department as we look forward to welcoming new members to our ranks.

This hiring process is unique. To begin, candidates will be required to successfully complete a written exam and a Candidate Physical Agility Test (CPAT). Over the next two years, we expect to hire approximately 30 firefighters each year and we will select those individuals based on their performance in this process.

The testing process will begin in April 2022. Thanks to the efforts of our Community Relations Division staff, interest in becoming a firefighter is strong! At this time, we expect to have over 1000 participants. The candidates include local Utahns, as well as individuals from across the United States and even some international applicants! We will intentionally be looking for individuals who will serve our Salt Lake City community to the best of their ability and who can fulfill SLC Fire's mission to Prepare Effectively, Respond Professionally, Impact Positively. 

If you or someone you know is interested in participating in SLC Fire's entry-level firefighter hiring process, please visit our website to learn more. Applications are due by March 31, 2022. Our Community Relations Division staff is also happy to help answer questions or assist individuals in preparing for the process.

COVID-19 Update
SLC Fire's daily operations continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and related concerns but due to the latest, encouraging trends, we are pleased to announce that some of our restrictions have been lifted. We have modified several department policies and protocols in response to these concerns and feel confident that the actions taken serve to protect both our workforce and the greater SLC community. A few precautionary measures currently in place are:
  • SLC Fire is now open to schedule tours of our fire stations or participation in community events! Please submit a request on our website to schedule. We are excited about resuming our community partnerships and hope to see you soon!
  • Over 80% of SLC Fire employees have been fully vaccinated
  • All calls for medical assistance are treated as potential COVID-19 exposures and our firefighters wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when responding
  • Patients requesting emergency medical assistance may be asked to meet first responders outdoors or in a large room whenever possible
  • First responders may ask family members, friends, and bystanders to provide a safe distance (6 ft. or greater) from the responding crew members on any emergency scene
  • Firefighters who are ill or have sick family at home are requested to stay home to recuperate, waiting to return to work until they are medically cleared to do so.
SLC Fire would like to express our gratitude to the community for all that you are doing to keep yourselves and your family safe. We're in this together!
