What else do the sourced pages say?

  • This is a department hire path. A candidate cannot pay to enroll as a civilian student. Hiring Process still describes Paramedic Recruit: you already need DSHS paramedic, then they send you to a TCFP academy. Job Requirements only names the certified Firefighter/Paramedic gate. Those pages disagree.
  • TCFP region North Eastern: Grapevine Fire Department FDID 950 at 1007 Ira E. Woods Ave., Grapevine, TX 76051, phone (817) 410-4400.
  • TCFP Upcoming Training List checked 2026-08-30 has no Grapevine Fire Department row.
  • Age conflict. Job Requirements Firefighter/Paramedic: minimum age 19. Closed 4506236: minimum age 18. Those ages disagree.
  • Pay on the 2024 posting only. Paramedic Recruit $73,411.07 / Firefighter/Paramedic $76,707.07. No live 2026 fire pay cell.
  • Hiring Process item 1.a is truncated on the live page: Firefighter/Paramedic requires. The rest of that sentence is missing.
  • Citizens Fire Academy is a civilian program. That is not this hire door.
