Entry Process

    Applicant should review the job description and minimum requirements. If minimum
    requirements are met, complete the City’s basic application and sign required

    agreement.

    After the application and waivers are submitted to HR, the department

    schedule a time for the applicant to conduct the physical agility test.

    After successful completion of the physical agility test, the applicant will receive the
    personal history packet to be completed so as to allow for a background
    investigation.

    Upon completion of the background investigation the applicant will be
    scheduled for an interview with the oral review board. The oral review board will
    determine whether or not the applicant will be made a conditional offer to be a
    recruit with the Rockwall Fire Department.

    The applicant must pass the physical and drug testing process. Upon receipt of an
    acceptable report from a physician, that the applicant is able to perform the required
    job duties, the applicant becomes a probationary recruit for one year.

    At the conclusion of the probation period the recruit will appear before the administrative
    staff review board. The board will determine if the recruit is accepted as a member of the
    volunteer department or removed from the department recruit program.
