Job Description:

Reserve Firefighter (temporary)

Description

The Position

Contra Costa County Fire Protection District is recruiting for ten (10) temporary Reserve Firefighters.

The Reserve program has existed in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District since 1965 and has existed in the Briones community since 1971. One of the primary functions of the Reserve Program is to provide a basic level of service to the community and citizens of the Briones area until the arrival of a full time professional fire company.

The emphasis on the Reserve Program is training, proficiency, and providing services to the citizens of the Briones area. Most participants in the Reserve Program are either individuals who want to serve their community, or are individuals who aspire to enter the fire service on a full-time basis.

Reserves will go through a basic orientation academy prior to going online. Academy topics will include district orientation, radio usage, EMS and CPR, Emergency Vehicle Operations, Haz-Mat, PG&E Responder Safety, and Wildland Fire Operations.

Station 19 is located at 1019 Garcia Ranch Rd. in Briones California 94553, and houses a Type 3 Fire Engine E-319, as well as a Type 6 E-619. Reserves are expected to participate in bi-weekly drill nights. Reserve work shifts will be assigned at Station 19 based on the needs of the fire district, the number of Reserves, and the Reserve's availability (approximately 4 hrs. per week). Reserves are expected to work a minimum of 12 hours per month staffing Station 19, as well as participate in monthly training, and support the Fire District at District events throughout the year. Eligible Reserves may also participate in ride-alongs with full-time fire crews.
