The Application
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Linwood Firefighter and joining our team; it is a great honor to serve our community and it also takes a great deal of determination to succeed and commitment to see our difficult tasks through. But don't be afraid! We encourage people to scour through our website, read as much as they can, see the minimum requirements below, contact us with questions and ultimately fill out an application.
Our current requirements to be considered for employment with the LFD are:
- any resident of the town of Linwood, Anoka County, Minnesota or citizen who lives within an eight-minute response time from the Linwood Fire Station
- not less than 21 years of age
- a high school graduate or Graduate Equivalent Degree (GED)
- have a current valid Minnesota Driver’s License

Our application period typically closes around the end of September with the hiring process (interviews & physical agility testing) starting in mid October. All of this leads up to an effective start date of January 1st each year.
