We are currently accepting applications and resumes for one firefighter position! We are also creating a hiring list for potential use for future openings, which will remain on file for up to one year. For more information, please call Chief Hayes at 573-341-2211 or visit Station 1 at 1575 East Lion's Club Drive, Rolla, MO, to pick up an application packet. All applications and resumes must be received by September 20, 2024. 

As a career firefighter, you will be placed on one of our crews at Station 1 that responds to any in-district calls that. Each crew is on-duty at the station for a 48 hour shift, and then is off-duty for 96 hours. 

If you have any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

No prior experience is required to volunteer with RRFPD. The first step is to fill out an application and drop it off at our office. Next, you’ll be interviewed by a panel of firefighters, who will send their recommendations to our fire chief. If approved by the chief, you’ll complete the necessary paperwork, undergo a drug test, and pass a background investigation. Once everything is cleared, we’ll notify you by phone or email that you’ve been accepted as a probationary volunteer.

As a new volunteer, you’ll attend weekly training sessions on Tuesday nights from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and work through our Personal Qualification Standards (PQS) skill book. After completing the PQS and a six-month probationary period, you’ll be evaluated to determine if you can be removed from probation.
