Watch this department to be notified when Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District is hiring.
Sunrise Beach Fire Protection District protects a stretch of the Lake of the Ozarks region, running out of a headquarters/training center on Porter Mill Spring Road plus five outlying stations spread across Camden and Morgan counties and the Village of Sunrise Beach. Because so much of the district's response area borders the lake, the fleet leans into water response as much as structural firefighting: alongside engines, tankers, brush trucks, and an aerial ladder, the district runs two dedicated marine vessels equipped with FLIR thermal imaging for search and rescue on the water.
The district's fire prevention office reviews and inspects new construction, renovations, outbuildings, and dock projects under the 2018 ICC code cycle, reflecting how much of the local building stock sits along the shoreline. The district is governed by a board that meets monthly and holds an ISO Class 4/10 rating that varies by property location within the coverage area.
Staffing includes a full-time career component supplemented by part-time firefighters brought on to help cover shift overtime and military-leave gaps, with the department periodically opening part-time positions to add depth during high call volumes and large-scale incidents.
The district periodically opens part-time firefighter positions, most recently a pilot program for four part-time firefighters to help cover shifts that would otherwise require mandatory overtime for full-time staff or arise from military leave. Part-time firefighters must be able to operate fire apparatus and are expected to already have firefighting experience.
