Volunteer Firefighter Opportunities in Paradise

The Town of Paradise operates a full time combination fire department which is operated  by CAL FIRE under a cooperative agreement with the Town of Paradise. To support this mission, the Town partners with CAL FIRE–Butte County Fire Department’s volunteer program to recruit and maintain volunteer firefighters.

Recruitment Timeline
Each year, recruitment is held during August and September for Paradise residents interested in serving as Volunteer Firefighters. In October, an informational meeting is hosted for all prospective volunteers. The meeting provides an overview of the program requirements, and applications are distributed at that time.
