Delray Beach Fire

Eightteen new firefighters began their careers with Delray Beach Fire-Rescue (DBFR). These firefighters will undergo training over 10 weeks and will then be placed on shift as probationary firefighters.

The hiring process for DBFR’s newest firefighters consisted of a swim test, an oral interview, a medical scenario, a polygraph test, and a medical examination. The newest members of DBFR represent some of the best and brightest candidates available for the positions and the Department is eager for them to begin their DBFR careers protecting the citizens, business owners, and visitors of Delray Beach.
