Paramedic Internship

The Napa Fire Department was one of the earliest fire based Paramedic delivery systems in the State of California. Modeled after the 1970's television show "Emergency", the Napa Fire Department began providing paramedic service to the community of Napa on July 1, 1978. It has always been the philosophy of our organization to give back to the EMS community by providing no cost internships for perspective students (as openings are available). Since 1978, the Napa Fire Department has yielded thousands of successful paramedic students into the world of EMS and Fire. Will you be the next?

Please fill out and submit the Napa Fire Department Paramedic Internship Application if you are interested in an internship. Our Administrative Battalion Chief that oversees the program will reach out to you to coordinate potential next steps.

**Disclosure**

At this time, the Napa Fire Department has an active contract with Napa Valley College. If you have attended a different program, please fill out the application if you are still interested. NFD will attempt to work with your school to develop a contract (if possible). Please understand that this may take time to accomplish.

Fire Explorers

In partnership with the Napa City Firefighters Association, the Napa Fire Department is happy to host Explorer Post 220. As a branch of the Boy Scouts of America, the Explorers are made up of boys and girls aged 14-21 who have an interest in the fire service. The Post meets for regular drills twice a month for two hours each and does more involved and in-depth quarterly drills on four Saturdays throughout the year. The drills are taught by Napa Fire Department personnel. The Post also does a number of fundraising events and are given opportunities to give back to our community through community service. Part of the money raised through fundraising goes towards sending our Explorers to the State wide Fire Explorer Academy which is held once a year in varying locations in the Spring. This is a great program for any of our local youth that may have an interest in the fire service or a desire to give back to their community.
