Call Firefighter/EMT Recruits

Groveland Fire Dept

181 Main St
Groveland, MA 01834
978-374-1923


Description
We are looking for qualified & motivated individuals to join our team of Firefighters and EMT's. Call Firefighter/EMT's respond to all Fire and Medical emergencies in Groveland when they arise. Groveland has no full time Firefighters or EMTs and is not staffed in house at any time, relying on dedicated responders to mitigate hazards small and large. We are part of a diverse mutual aid network, responding to major incidents in all of our neighboring communities, including the City of Haverhill. We respond to 700+ emergency calls for service a year.

Groveland is a largely residential community with approximately 6,500 residents, 2,500 households, and numerous commercial properties spread over 9.4 square miles. Our community is consistently growing similarly to our neighboring communities.

Firefighting is a fast paced profession that requires an individual to utilize physical, mental, and emotional strength, as well as rely on their training to serve the public. We are looking for team oriented individuals who desire to answer the call when members of the community have nowhere else to turn.

If you meet the requirements below, please contact us to begin the recruitment process. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you into our ranks!
