Knoxville City Fire Department

The Knoxville City Fire Department has opened positions for two full-time paramedic firefighters.

The department was previously covered by a few part-time paramedics.

He praised the part-time staff that has been working for their dedication. The two positions will be Captains. One will be filled in February and the other in July.
