Sachse Fire Rescue

Sachse Fire Rescue serves the city of Sachse, Texas, a growing community in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The department delivers fire suppression, emergency medical services and transport, rescue, hazardous materials response, and community education from two around-the-clock stations.

Operations run across three shifts (A, B, and C) on a 48-hours-on / 96-hours-off rotation, supervised by the Fire Chief and two Battalion Chiefs (Operations and Administration). The two stations field a mix of frontline apparatus including a Pierce Ascendant ladder truck, a Pierce Enforcer engine, a Pierce wildland brush engine, multiple ambulances, and heavy/technical rescue units.

The department emphasizes that "lives are more valuable than property" and frames its work around excellence, integrity, and teamwork, balancing public safety with member safety.

Sachse Fire Rescue hires fire rescue specialists who are already dual-certified as firefighters and paramedics. Candidates must hold Basic Structural Firefighter certification through the Texas Commission on Fire Protection, EMT-Paramedic certification, and a high school diploma or equivalent, and must pass a physical agility test.

Open positions are posted on the city's employment portal at governmentjobs.com/careers/sachsetx. Applicants also need a valid Class B Commercial Driver's License or the ability to obtain one within six months of starting.
