The state of Nevada is one of contrasts. On the one hand, there is all the dusty, dry rural landscape. On the other, there are bold, bright cities such as Las Vegas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both have their own major fire risks. One is prone to\nwildfires and the other is crammed with residents and busy tourist sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means, Nevada fire departments need the very best personnel on-staff to deal with emergencies. Below I will go into more detail about some of the requirements to become a firefighter in Nevada. I will also discuss some of the training options and major departments in the state. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How To Become A\nFirefighter In Nevada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>18 years or older<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>High school diploma or GED<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Valid driver\u2019s license <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Emergency Medical Technician certification<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Pass a physical agility test<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After the getting the minimum requirements, applicants that\nmeet these criteria will also be expected to undergo a series of screening\nprocedures and examinations to ensure that they are suitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of these are pretty standard across the state. You can expect to take a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"written examination (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/how-to-prepare-for-the-civil-service-exam\/\" target=\"_blank\">written examination<\/a> to showcase your comprehension skills and aptitude level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also medical and physical agility tests (such as the CPAT) to prove you&#8217;re capable of doing the job. There are also background checks, suitability examinations and an <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"oral board interview (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/51-firefighter-interview-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\">oral board interview<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there is a lot to consider why applying to be a firefighter in Nevada. The rules above come from the Clark County guide. You can learn more about their regulations <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"here (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/www.clarkcountynv.gov\/fire\/Pages\/HowtoBecomeaFirefighter.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual stations will have their own personal preferences\nand some differences in hiring requirements, so it\u2019s important to check with\nthose departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this is a good guide to get you started because so\nmany departments hire recruits from the same pool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark County, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson and\nBoulder City fire departments all use the Southern Nevada Fire Recruitment\nservice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Physical ability is one of the most important aspects of the\nhiring process in Nevada.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reno says the CPAT is the \u201cmost important\u201d minimum requirement.&nbsp; Fail this and you can\u2019t progress any further. There is also a fairly standard medical exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of tobacco products as a firefighter is something\nthat many departments are paying closer attention to nationwide. But, the rules\ncan vary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some are content to warn applicants not to use tobacco\nproducts while on the job. Others have an outright ban. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_63 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-660801d14e67a\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-660801d14e67a\" checked aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/how-to-become-a-firefighter-in-nevada\/#Fire_Academies_in_Nevada\" title=\"Fire Academies in Nevada\">Fire Academies in Nevada<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/how-to-become-a-firefighter-in-nevada\/#Wildland_Firefighter_Training_In_Nevada\" title=\"Wildland Firefighter Training In Nevada\">Wildland Firefighter Training In Nevada<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/how-to-become-a-firefighter-in-nevada\/#Major_Fire_Departments_in_Nevada\" title=\"Major Fire Departments in Nevada. \">Major Fire Departments in Nevada. <\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/how-to-become-a-firefighter-in-nevada\/#Job_Prospects_for_Nevada_Firefighters\" title=\"Job Prospects for\nNevada Firefighters\">Job Prospects for\nNevada Firefighters<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fire_Academies_in_Nevada\"><\/span><strong>Fire Academies in Nevada<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the department you are hired to work at, you\nneed to be sure of finding the best firefighting education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basic training at fire academies is a good starting point\nbut there are other skills and certificates to earn.

The bright lights and noise of\nthis city mean that there is something magical about the place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It brings in tourists from across the world with its\nbuilt-up entertainment complexes, grand casinos and a strips of neon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of the vast population, the potential\nelectrical faults, accidental fires and vehicular incidents mean that fire\nstations here are always busy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city of Las Vegas is 141.9 square miles in total and\ngrowing. There are roughly 652,000 residents and millions of tourists in this\narea to look after around the clock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why there are 705 employees on call at 21 stations\nacross the city. There were 105,132 responses in 2018 alone with 12 of those\nclassed as multiple alarm fires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazingly, there were just 5 fatalities. This highlighted\nthe ability of these crews in both fire suppression and the rescue operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams here need to be able to handle major blazes,\nstructural damage and life-saving aid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The minimum requirements here were quite basic. But, there are plans to introduce an <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"EMT certification (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/firefighternow.com\/emt-training-near-me\/\" target=\"_blank\">EMT certification<\/a> to that list as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more about this department by following this\nlink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lasvegasnevada.gov\/Government\/Departments\/Fire-Rescue\">https:\/\/www.lasvegasnevada.gov\/Government\/Departments\/Fire-Rescue<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Become A Reno,\nNV Firefighter:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>18 years or older<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>High school diploma or GED<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Valid driver\u2019s license <\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Emergency Medical Technician certification<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Pass a physical agility test<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reno requirements are pretty much the same as the basic\nstate guidelines. A high school education is a must, and additional\nfirefighting training will always be preferred for career roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants must be at least 18 with a valid driver\u2019s license\nand physically fit. As I mentioned above, they take your fitness level very\nseriously here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another difference here is that this city already has that rule where candidates must possess their EMT or National Registry certificate for medical skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reno is the \u201cBiggest Little City in the World\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a large area for firefighters to cover here and the\nReno department also extends into Truckee Meadows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that there are 24 stations in total \u2013 more than\nin Las Vegas \u2013 14 of which are in Reno itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 2018, the estimated population was 250,998 over a\nlandmass of 103 square miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They undergo regular training and drills to handle anything\nfrom structural fires to brush fires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can learn more by heading to their department website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reno.gov\/government\/departments\/fire-department\">https:\/\/www.reno.gov\/government\/departments\/fire-department<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Job_Prospects_for_Nevada_Firefighters\"><\/span><strong>Job Prospects for\nNevada Firefighters<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In 2018, Nevada was\nnamed the fifth-highest payer for firefighters with an annual mean wage of\n$66,830 and hourly rate of $32.13.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, this is significantly lower than the figures for\nfourth-placed New York. There, firefighters received $73,710 annual and 35.44\nhourly.
