The city of Casa Grande offers health, vision and dental benefits that fit your family, multiple different retirement plans, tuition reimbursement, employee assistance programs, a 48/96 schedule, a 10% pay increase for a Paramedic Certification, and a uniform allowance. The fire department has an array of different specialty teams including TRT, HazMat, Wildland, SWAT Medics, Drone Pilots and Honor Guard.
In order to qualify for the position of firefighter the applicant must have a high school diploma or equivalent GED, a valid Driver’s License and resume uploaded with the application and complete an NTN written examination.

1. Make sure you have all qualifications (see testing process above)
2. Go to the National Testing Network website and go to “find jobs”, search firefighter positions in Arizona and find the City of Casa Grande and schedule your test. If you have already taken the test for another agency but would like to transfer your scores to us, you must call NTN to do so (NTN will charge a fee of $12.00).

They can answer any questions you may have about the city of Casa Grande and our Fire Department. Mentors can also provide you with information on how to obtain your qualifications, such as an EMT Certification, the NTN written test, CPAT, and interview preparation. If you need help with preparing for an academy, a Mentor can give you insight on what workouts you can do, nutrition advice, and what to expect.
