Wake County has teamed up with Wake Technical Community College and six county fire departments to launch a robust recruitment campaign aimed at helping increase racial and gender diversity in the fire services.

For the first time, candidates with no experience will be able to earn a salary while being trained, a strategy leaders hope will break down barriers that may have prevented women or minorities from considering careers in the fire services.
