I decided to write on the Bakersfield Fire Department because this is the department that I would like to work for one day. The hiring for the Bakersfield Fire Department is a little harder than a lot of others in the state of California. Before you can even apply you must go through what we call a firefighter 1 academy. This academy is held at the Olive Drive training facility.
