CHFD Ride Along Program
Are You Interested in the CHFD Ride-Along Program?
Are you considering a career in the fire service, EMS, or public safety? Want to get a firsthand look at what life is like at a busy fire department?
The Cimarron Hills Fire Department Ride-Along Program gives eligible participants the opportunity to ride with CHFD crews as an observer and experience the fire and EMS world from a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective.
During your ride-along, you may have the opportunity to observe our crews as they respond to calls, complete daily station duties, train, inspect equipment, and work together to serve the Cimarron Hills community.
Whether you are exploring a future career as a firefighter, EMT, paramedic, or other public safety professional, a ride-along can provide valuable insight into the profession and help you better understand the responsibilities and expectations that come with serving your community.
