Morgantown Fire Department now hiring

MORGANTOWN — The Morgantown Fire Department has two open positions and is preparing a new hiring list, after a dozen hires last November, courtesy of a grant, cleared the old list.

Applications are being accepted through April 11, Chief Mark Caravasos said. An application can be found at morgantownwv.gov/208/Fire-Department.

The processes to get hired involves several steps, starting with an agility test May 12. Caravasos said the goal of the agility test is to measure the endurance and stamina of applicants. The test is pass or fail, based on time, he said. Climbing 10-stories worth of stairs is just the start of what Caravasos called a “tough” test. There is a video of the test on the department’s webpage.
