Recruitment Employment Requirements

Entry level firefighter (ELF) employment requirements are established by the Rogers Civil Service Commission based on a combination of State law and locally determined policy. The principle features of those requirements are:
have attained the age of 21 years but not yet 35 years at the date of formal examination;
  • have graduated from high school or achieved a GED certification;
  • provide an affidavit of non-smoking;
  • possess a valid motor vehicle operator license

To become eligible for hire, the Civil Service exam consisting of a written portion, oral interview by the Board, oral interview by RFD staff, and physical ability test must be completed with satisfactory scores. Prior to employment the candidate must pass a State established medical exam and law enforcement background check.

Certified eligibility lists remain valid for a twelve (12) month period.

Any questions regarding these requirements or the process may be directed to:
