City of Worcester:
Fire Department

The mission of the Worcester Fire Department is to improve the quality of life within the city, by providing: a high quality emergency fire and rescue service; an excellent fire prevention program, including public education and arson investigation;
a fire-fighting force capable of handling emergencies, emergency response, all types of rescues, and miscellaneous emergencies and catastrophes.

Working with the fire department is multi-faceted. Chief Dio runs the training division and he can arrange for an intern to work at any of the stations. Interns can work with the special units such as arson and scuba, or get involved with the training division itself. Opportunities abound, including training in, and then teaching CPR, spending overnight shifts at the stations and going out on calls with them.
