📞 BE THE VOICE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
When someone calls 911, they may be having the worst day of their life. On the other end of that call is a Public Safety Telecommunicator—the calm voice gathering critical information, coordinating first responders, and getting help where it needs to go.
We’re looking for dependable, motivated people who want more than just a job. This is an opportunity to build a career in public safety, serve your community, support law enforcement, fire, and EMS responders, and become part of a team where your work matters every single day.

On Thursday, October 8, 2026, beginning at 6:00 p.m., the Valley City Fire Department will be conducting training exercises at 628 Main Street East.

Residents in the area can expect to see fire trucks, firefighters, and law enforcement officers at the location. As part of the training, the properties will be intentionally burned once the training exercises are complete.

Throughout the evening and overnight hours, residents may also notice additional fire and police activity in the area as crews check the site for hot spots and ensure the area remains safe. This is a planned training exercise and there is no cause for alarm.
