We use www.fireteamtest.com for our entry level testing. As for Denver, there is a DRCOG which is the area fire departments collective testing group, http://www.drcog.org/index.cfm?page=FIRE Good luck. Keith

Englewood Fire has an open application process, where we take applications year round and when we need people we pull from the list and start the hiring process. Right now I don't think we have any openings coming up, but you never know. As for other deparments it hard to say, it has been 18 years since I have had to look for a fire job. Check out Parker Fire (which just combined with South Metro Fire, and I dont know whey that call themselves now), West Metro Fire, Union Colony (Greely), Ft. Collins, Grand Jct, Littleton, Cunningham, Denver. There are a lot of places but the competition is steep, but experience generally helps. I will try and keep my ears open and see if anyone is talking about hiring. Good luck and Be Safe. Weave

As for the Colorado Springs Fire, our economy is such that we have already cancelled our academy for this year and are not planning one for some time to come. The area departments around Colorado Springs are for 1 to 8 people and then the volunteers. Good luck with your relocation, Keith

The important thing in our work does not need language to communicate, or borders to help. greetings from Mexico.
