The application period for the Denver Fire Department is now open.
All testing appointments are currently full.

 

You may apply as a Walk-In.

 

The Commission cannot guarantee space availability for walk-in applicants however, due to last minute cancellations and no-shows, applicants are encouraged to walk-in providing all eligibility requirements are met. Walk-in applicants must arrive at the Commission testing facility prior to the 7:30 a.m. start time, and will be considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Webb Municipal Building does not open until 7:00 a.m.

Completion of an application for "walk-in" purpose is neither a priority, nor guarantee for testing of walk-in-applicants. Walk-in applicants are only considered based on availability and strictly on a first-come, first-serve basis.

 

Since the Firefighter written test may take up to 5 hours, parking at a meter is NOT recommended. (Meters have a maximum time limit of two hours.) Once the test has begun, you will not be allowed to leave the test area. The Webb Building is located in close proximity to many public transportation options. Please visit RTD's website for specific light rail and bus routes and schedules.

 

You may walk in only on the days that the Commission is testing for Fire. Please review our Testing Calendar.
