City of Linden

The City of Linden Fire Department is currently accepting applications for the position of probationary paid on-call firefighters (volunteer), especially those that are available during the daytime hours. If you are looking for a way to give back to your community and experience the rewards of hard work and a great team atmosphere, please submit an application to the Fire Department. The Linden Fire Department is made up of paid, on-call volunteers who are residents of our local community. Many of us are your neighbors, co-workers, or friends. Linden's firefighters do not live at the fire station or spend all day working a shift at the fire station. We are a group of men and women who have everyday jobs, but are ready to go at any time that a call comes in. We might be builders, landscapers, farmers, business owners, stay-at-home parents, or even retirees; but when the call comes we become part of a dedicated team ready to face any emergency. We may be volunteers, but we are trained and capable people on the front line saving lives and property. Minimum qualifications for the position of probationary paid on-call firefighters include: Live in or near the City of Linden's Fire Department service area. Must be at least eighteen (18) years of age. Must provide proof of High School Graduation or G.E.D. Must be physically able to perform the duties of a firefighter. Must pass a physical exam and drug screen. Must be able to pass a physical agility test. Must have a valid driver's license. A valid Michigan driver's license is required for initial employment and must be maintained while an employee. A satisfactory background check conducted for criminal record, driving record, and personal history. Must possess and/or be able to acquire firefighter certification as mandated by the State of Michigan Fire Fighters Training Council. Upon completion of all probationary requirements and a successful job evaluation, probationary firefighters will be eligible for promotion to the position of paid on-call firefighter. Applications for the Fire Department can be found here or at City Hall during business hours: Application for Firefighters

It’s That Time Again! As part of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the State of Michigan requires municipal water systems to test various water samples from around the community to ensure that the residents are receiving quality drinking water. We are currently conducting our first round of 2026 sampling for lead and copper levels in residential homes. At this time, we have a limited number of free test kits available for residents connected to the municipal water system. If you are interested in being part of this program, please reach out to our office to register for a free test kit. Test kits are available for a limited time and will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Each kit contains everything you need to complete the process including a sample bottle and sampling instructions. The sampling process typically takes 5-10 minutes to complete. The Department of Public Works will deliver the test kit to your home and pick up the sample when you are completed. The deadline for all samples must be completed and scheduled for pick up no later than Friday, May 29, 2026. Get your test kit early, while supplies last. Call 810-735-7980 to register for a test kit.
