Following a June 21 Job Fair, which introduced the upcoming Johns Creek Fire Department to firefighters from across Metro-Atlanta, a total of 300 applications have been received, to date, for the Department’s 78 firefighter positions.

“We are very pleased with the quality of the response we’ve gotten from the many dedicated firefighting professionals who want to join us here in Johns Creek,” said Fire Chief Joseph Daniels. “We’re going to have to make some tough decisions.”

Physical agility testing for firefighter candidates was held June 27-28, to be followed by one-on-one interviews and further testing over the next several weeks.

Meanwhile, the JC Fire Department Command Staff is already busy at work: Assistant Chief, Support Services Pat Wilson; Battalion Chief Emory Ramey; Training Chief Jay Rollins; EMS Coordinator Tonya Whiten; and Fire Marshall Chad McGiboney.
