New Hanover County Fire Services is currently seeking diverse candidates who are looking to start a career as a firefighter through the First Responder Academy Firefighter Program. The First Responder Academy Firefighter Program is a cohesive program that prepares students for a career in firefighting and has two tracks: one for the First Responder Academy Sponsorship Opportunity and one for the Firefighter Apprenticeship Opportunity. The Sponsorship and Apprenticeship opportunities are both offered at the same time though Cape Fear Community College (CFCC) in July 2023. After successful completion of the program, both sponsorship and apprenticeship candidates will be eligible to gain employment with New Hanover County Fire Services.
This academy, which starts in January and July of each year, is a comprehensive program which includes Firefighter Certification, Hazardous-Materials Certification, Basic Emergency Medical Technician Certification, Emergency Vehicle Driving Certification, Mayday/Safety Survival skills and other vital information necessary for future firefighters.
To be considered for this program, candidates are required to complete a video test, panel interview and a physical agility assessment. Participation in the program is also contingent upon satisfactory background checks, driving checks, physical, and drug screening. Final selection is made by the fire chief and is selected based on department staffing needs.
Sponsorship or apprenticeship CFCC students must agree to provide at least 50 hours per month of volunteer service at the fire department while attending the program. Volunteer service may include but is not limited to incident responses, citizen assists, equipment, apparatus, or facility maintenance, housekeeping or janitorial duties, response to emergency situations, and participation in training.

Sponsorship provides a temporary department membership which expires upon completion or termination from the CFCC First Responder Academy. Students who successfully graduate from the academy may apply for regular membership in the volunteer firefighter program or any career opportunities that may be available.
