For applicants, this is an opportunity to access stable public employment in the fire department of a provincial capital. Open competition maximizes participation: external candidates are not penalized compared to internal ones.
The 20 business day deadline from August 8, 2026 is relatively tight, especially considering it partially coincides with the August vacation period. Applicants must act quickly to gather the documentation required in the BOCYL bases before the deadline expires.
Who does it affect?

An applicant residing in León who wishes to apply for these positions must first download and thoroughly read the bases published in the BOCYL no. 147 of July 31, 2026 to verify that they meet all requirements (qualifications, physical condition, documentation, etc.).
Next, they must prepare and submit their application within the 20 business days counted from August 8, 2026.
