The Knoxville Fire Department is looking for some additional firefighters.
Fire Chief Jim Mitchell tells KNIA/KRLS News that of six new applicants, only three of currently live in Knoxville. While this is fine for shift coverage, when a fire occurs during the night, out of town responders will be slower. Mitchell would like to see more candidates who live in the city. Candidates who want to apply can stop by the department or contact City Hall.
