Nixa

Hey guys,

Just a heads up, Nixa, MO is taking apps. I've been here for 5 years, great people, and great pay. Let me know if you have any questions. You must have FF 1&2, EMT, or Paramedic.

Just curious as to how many is Nixa looking to hire? I have been wanting to get on down there for a long time, but never got any heads up on when you all were hiring...thanks a lot for the info!!!

I believe Ozark, right next door is too.

Thanks for the info guys. I don't think Ozark is looking for any more apps though.

Here is a website I came across recently for firefighting jobs in MO. I'm not sure how often they update it, but it seems pretty credible. http://www.emsfirerescuejobs.com/missouri.htm

Yeah Ozarks is one of Nixa's MA departments, its a good place aswell, but the pay is a little lower.

Any idea how many they are planning to hire? I have been wanting to get on at Nixa for awhile. Thanks so much for the heads up!

They are going to hire 2 pretty quick (testing July 27th and hire in Aug). There are some guys that have been talking about career changes. I think the total count was around 5-9. Plus the NFD is going for the safer act grant, which means ~6 new positions.

The deadline in July 7th for apps., so get on it. I might add the people that have talked about living, are NOT leaving cause their unhappy its just other opportunities. I heard the other day there are currently less than 50 apps!
