DFC offers the opportunity to work full-time using the sales position as a primary income source or part-time earning a strong second income. Most of our salespersons are also firefighters. While being a firefighter is not mandatory, it is highly recommended because it provides a great knowledge base for the products and services we offer.

DFC representatives own the sales in their territory. This is a unique concept in the Fire and EMT industry. By owning your territory, the value of your business grows as your sales increase. This is an awesome reward considering the minimal investment required.
