What is an Auxiliary Firefighter?
The San Gabriel Fire Department Auxiliary Firefighter Program offers
qualified individuals the opportunity to refine learned firefighting and
EMT skills in a working environment.
The program is geared
toward emulating a probationary firefighter’s experience, adapting to
firehouse culture, and building the skills needed to secure a job in the
fire service. The Auxiliary Firefighter will work toward attaining his
or her Firefighter I certificate through the California State Fire
Marshal’s Office. Paramedic school sponsorship is extended to those who
qualify within the program.
We are looking for enthusiastic,
honest, and dedicated individuals who are willing to put in the hard
work on a volunteer basis. Two Auxiliaries are scheduled per day with a
maximum of 14 on a roster.
