The Pattonville Fire Protection District will soon be accepting applications to establish an employment eligibility list of qualified Paramedic/Firefighters. Because all Pattonville employees are cross trained as water rescue technicians, a swim test is included in the evaluation process and conducted on Nov. 19, 2026 at 9am. To help prospective applicants prepare for this opportunity, the District is offering four swim test practice sessions, the dates and times of which are listed below. Each session will be held at the Pattonville Senior High School Swimming Pool located at 2497 McKelvey RD, Maryland Heights, MO 63043. Pre-registration for the swim practice sessions is not required. Individuals wishing to participate in the swim test on Nov. 19th will be provided with additional information as part of the employment application process.
