Roswell Fire Department: Transition to Full-Time Staffing Model

To better serve its growing community, the City of Roswell will transition the Roswell Fire Department (RFD) over the next five years from a staffing model that has relied on part-time employees to one that will be staffed entirely by full-time employees.

The first phase of the transition to a full-time staffing model began in the summer/fall of 2022 with the recruitment and hiring of 21 full-time fire captains.

 
"As a city of 100,000, the current staffing model can no longer meet today's challenges. Our current part-time staff are excellent, but realistically, there are limitations to this model. We are often stretched too thin. The bottom line is that this is a safety issue—and public safety is the number-one priority for this Mayor and Council. We must have a full-time fire department that is able to respond at full capacity to the needs of our community."
-Mayor Kurt Wilson
