D.C. is looking to hire firefighter/emergency medical technicians through an application process that’s open for the next 30 days.
“Quite frankly, there’s nothing more rewarding than being able to help someone every day that you come to work. I’ve grown up in this department for the last 30 years, and I’ve loved every minute of it,” D.C. Fire and EMS Chief John A. Donnelly Sr. said at a Monday briefing.
For the first time, entrance exams will be offered both virtually and in person at testing centers.
English is mandatory, but bilingual applicants are especially encouraged.
“It’s important because our community is multilingual,” Donnelly said.
