° Verification of valid driver’s license, birth certificate, and high school diploma/GED
° Complete driving history (performed by the Utah Department of Public Safety Driver’s License Division and/or applicable state jurisdiction)
The information supplied will be reviewed by our SLC Fire Investigators and followed-up with an in-person interview. Following the interview, the Investigators will provide their recommendations to the Fire Chief; and, based on the findings he/she has the discretion to invite a candidate for the Chief’s interview.
