Columbus Department Of Fire And Ems

Columbus Fire & EMS (CFEMS) is the fire and emergency medical services agency for Columbus, Georgia. The department operates as an integrated fire-EMS organization, delivering both fire suppression and emergency medical care across the consolidated city-county.

The department is organized into several divisions, including Operations, EMS, Training, Health and Safety, Resource Management, and Community Risk Reduction (which houses the Fire Marshal's Office). It runs a range of community programs such as the Knox Box program, the Yellow Dot program, and Columbus Correct Care.

CFEMS is accredited by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) and holds an ISO Public Protection Classification. The agency also operates its own training pipeline, including the CFEMS Academy and a Career Prep Academy for prospective candidates.

Columbus Fire & EMS hires through the Columbus Consolidated Government career portal on GovernmentJobs.com (powered by NEOGOV). Firefighter and EMS openings are posted there when recruitment is active, and the department maintains a Career Prep Academy to help candidates prepare for the hiring process and its own CFEMS Academy for recruit training.

At the time of review, no firefighter positions were posted. Candidates should monitor the career portal for open announcements. General hiring questions can be directed to Columbus Consolidated Government Human Resources at (706) 653-4059.
