Hopewell Fire Department Inc Information

The Hopewell Fire Department is a corporation and we run ourselves as a small business. We have administrative positions that address the day to day responsibilities of being a corporation. We are always looking for people with experience in the business world to help us out as well. You will be expected to complete training classes mandated by The New York State Public Employee Safety and Health Bureau (PESH). This training is required to protect you and better prepare you for firefighting duties. Classes are generally held at the Ontario County Safety Training Facility located at County Office Complex on County Road 48. You will be expected to participate in weekly department training sessions. These are held most Tuesday nights, and help to maintain the quality of service the Hopewell Fire Department provides to the community. Applicants who are accepted by the department must successfully complete a one year guided probation period. Members on probation are progressively given more responsibilities and fire-ground tasks as their training progresses. The department membership will accept or decline probationary members after the one year period is complete. Prior experience is not necessary. An application is available for download or may be picked up at Station 1 on Tuesday nights, during our normal weekly training session. You may also call station 1 at 394-3166 with any questions or for further information regarding applications.
