MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Give back to your community when it really counts. Every day, members of the North Syracuse Fire Department (NSFD) help people during emergencies. We are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, sons and daughters who share the same common goal.
​
Few places offer the excitement of a fire house. As a firefighter, you will respond to alarms, drive and operate fire apparatus, extinguish fires, climb ladders, and use power tools. You will be involved in the rescue of victims from fires, motor vehicle collisions and other rescue situations. You will also provide medical assistance to citizens in need. Be a part of the action while solving problems, helping your friends and family, and most of importantly, serving the community.
​
