Pend Oreille County Fire District 2 is excited to offer our Resident Firefighter Program. The primary intent of the program is to provide positive experiences, opportunities, and training to people interested in establishing themselves in the fire service. Resident firefighters respond to a variety of calls including medical emergencies, structure fires, motor vehicle accidents, and wildland fires.

The program is designed for a two-year commitment so the firefighter may earn a variety of training including firefighting, IFSAC Firefighter I, Hazmat Awareness and Operations, NWCG Wildland Firefighter Type 2 and 1, EMT-B, and EMT-IV. Many other classes are available including, but not limited to, ice rescue, rope rescue, and officer development.

The firefighter is expected to live at the fire station. They are provided living accommodations, basic utilities, and a food budget at no cost, and a monthly stipend.
