The Seattle Fire Department will open an entry-level Firefighter application period starting October 4, 2024
Our next entry-level Firefighter application period will open on October 4, 2024, and we will accept applications through November 29, 2024.
The register created through this application period and testing process will be available in March 2025, and the first class hired from the new register will begin in August 2025. We anticipate hiring at least four recruit classes from this register. More information on our hiring process can be found here: https://www.seattle.gov/fire/jobs-and-opportunities/hiring-process.
Although the application period is still a month away, candidates should take the time now to begin preparing for the testing and oral board process. Hiring Webinars and Podcast episodes about the hiring process and the career of a Seattle Firefighter can be viewed on our YouTube page here: https://www.youtube.com/@SeattleFire. We will also be hosting a live Hiring Webinar specifically about the testing process on September 17 from 4:00PM to 5:15PM. All job seekers are welcome to attend.
