Henderson Fire Department

The Henderson Fire Department (HFD) protects the City of Henderson, Nevada — approximately 335,000 residents across roughly 110 square miles southeast of Las Vegas, the second-largest city in Nevada and a substantial share of the broader Las Vegas Valley population. The surrounding metropolitan area is covered by Clark County Fire Department (Las Vegas Strip and unincorporated areas), Las Vegas Fire & Rescue (the City of Las Vegas), and North Las Vegas Fire Department; the four agencies coordinate closely through automatic-aid agreements. HFD fields about 230 uniformed members from 11 fire stations and provides structural fire suppression, advanced life support emergency medical service (HFD is the primary 911 medical-response agency for Henderson with paramedic ambulance transport), technical rescue, hazardous materials response, and wildland-interface response on the city's desert edges. Firefighter recruitment is administered by the City of Henderson Human Resources Department. The process includes an online application, the National Testing Network written examination, a physical fitness test, a virtual oral review board, and a Chief's structured selection interview, followed by medical and background screening. Three parallel hiring tracks exist: Firefighter (EMT), Firefighter-Paramedic, and Paramedic Ambulance Operator. Bluewatch refers candidates to joinhendersonfire.com for the authoritative process.
