Ketchikan Fire Department

🚒 NOW HIRING: FIRE INSPECTOR – KETCHIKAN FIRE DEPARTMENT 🚒

Ever walk into a building and immediately notice the exit sign that’s burned out, the fire extinguisher hidden behind a stack of boxes, or that extension cord that’s been there since the last salmon run? If so, we may have the job for you!

The Ketchikan Fire Department is looking for a Fire Inspector to help keep our community safe through fire prevention, inspections, public education, and code enforcement.

🔥 What You’ll Do:
✅ Conduct fire and life safety inspections
✅ Work with local businesses and building owners
✅ Investigate fire code issues
✅ Educate the public on fire prevention
✅ Help keep Ketchikan one of the safest communities in Southeast Alaska

🌲 Why Ketchikan?
Where else can you inspect a business in the morning, watch a cruise ship arrive at lunch, and spend the evening fishing, hiking, or dodging a rain shower that came out of nowhere?

☔ Fair warning: You’ll likely inspect more buildings than days you’ll see sunshine… but the scenery makes up for it.

Ready to make an impact before the emergency happens?
