If an eligibility register of twenty-five (25) is

investigation and reference check is conducted. The
Fire Chief recommends a candidate from the top three
persons on the eligibility register. The selected
candidate is made a conditional offer of employment
and must pass a medical evaluation with a drug
screen and a bonafide, valid and job-related
psychological evaluation.
