FESS
The Volusia County Fire Services Training
Center hosted the quarterly Firefighter Employment Screening Service
(FESS). The two- day program provides a standardized pre-employment
process that consists of a written examination, skills assessment, and
physical ability evaluation that is acknowledged by all fire departments
in Volusia County as well as Palm Coast in Flagler County. The final
participant results are provided to the participating fire department
chiefs for review and potential employment selection. More than 60
candidates participated in day one of the process that began January 20.

Volusia County Fire Services representatives Suzie Darby and
Battalion Commander
Tim Martin were present to answer candidates' questions about employment with Volusia County Fire Services. Approximately
40 candidates stopped by the information table to discuss potential
career opportunities. Additional information regarding FESS can be found
