Knoxville Fire Chief Jim Mitchell says they’re looking for more firefighters to add to the department.

He says staffing is always in issue but now that the department is working towards transitioning to a pay-on-call department, some members can now get paid for their work and not strictly be volunteers. Mitchell says those who are interested in applying to become a firefighter can stop by the station to fill out an application. They’re also available on the city’s website.
