Description: Resident Firefighter ProgramThe Samoa Peninsula Fire District is seeking individuals interested in a fire service career to work and live at our Fairhaven Fire Station. These individuals serve our community by providing guaranteed, 24/7 response to our community in lieu of paid fire personnel. The Resident Firefighter Program is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and explore a career in the fire service, typically while attending Humboldt State University or College of the Redwoods. Resident Firefighters live full-time at our station and work a minimum of one 24-hour shift or "duty day" per week during which typical duties of a career firefighter are carried out and emergencies are responded to. Residents also respond to call while they are available at the station though not necessarily on their duty day. The Resident Program has proven very successful at helping residents obtain a full-time job in the fire service or EMS field. Past Resident Firefighters have gone on to become employed by agencies such as LA County FD, San Francisco FD, Contra Costa County FD, Riverside County FD, Cal Fire, Humboldt Bay FD, the US Forest Service, City Ambulance, and many others. Applications are continously being accepted and interviews for Resident Firefighter positions occur when an opening in the station exists.
