Becoming an on-call volunteer firefighter
Minnetonka firefighters not only fight fires, they also respond to fire alarms, technical rescue incidents, vehicle extractions, hazardous material incidents, and medical situations. They also participate in public education details.
No previous training or experience is needed—the city provides all required training. Weekly training sessions and department meetings are held Tuesday nights or Wednesday mornings, to accommodate firefighters’ schedules.
To meet the minimum selection standards you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age.
- Possess a valid driver’s license.
- Live within 15 minutes of any Minnetonka fire station.
- Be in acceptable physical condition.
- Applicants must be able to pass all required tests.
