Our Initiatives

Recruitment

Ask any fire fighter about their job and they will recite a familiar line: "It's the best job in the world." While all of us in the fire service would agree, we're facing a growing challenge in recruiting the next generation of fire fighters. On the whole, we need to do better at reaching into our communities and telling our story of what it's like to serve our neighbors every day. A renewed commitment to selling the fire service to the next generation is the only way to ensure our next academy classes are filled with eager and motivated recruits ready to serve their communities. The IAFF and the 10th District are dedicated to helping every one of our locals recruit the next batch of fire fighters into what we consider the greatest job in the world.
