About The Volunteer Firefighter Program

Every community needs firefighters – with 70% of the nation’s fire service being volunteer Fire Departments, they’re the folks willing to help their neighbors in their greatest times of need. But did you know that the majority of firefighters in the U.S. are volunteers? These volunteers serve in a variety of ways, from fighting fires and responding to medical emergencies to assisting during natural disasters and conducting fire prevention education. Volunteering with a fire department is an impactful and rewarding way to give back to the community and make a difference.
As a firefighter, or a support member of the department, you can make a difference where it is needed most. You’ll also learn new skills, meet new people, and become part of the fire service family.

Learn What You Need On The Job

When you sign up to be a fire service volunteer, you’ll receive all the training you need. Depending on your department’s needs and the role you choose as a volunteer, you’ll learn skills to help your community during emergencies of all kinds. For operational volunteers, this may mean responding to fires, medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, natural disasters, and more. This is why volunteering is highly favorable for those who are hoping to enter into a career as a full time Firefighter.

How To Join

Attend 3 of our bi-weekly member meetings.

  • Meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month at 7:00pm.

1st Meeting: During this meeting you will have the opportunity to tour the station, meet other Firefighters, check out the trucks and equipment, as well as a few minutes to tell us about yourself.

2nd Meeting: You will be given another chance to meet with more Firefighters and get a good feel of the department life and environment. This is a great opportunity to ask questions to the other members and command staff.

3rd Meeting: We will once again give you the opportunity to tell us more about yourself. Before the meeting concludes we will vote as a group to bring you into our ranks. If voted onto the department, you will be given a new hire packet with all required forms and documents.

Please bring the following to the 1st meeting:

  • Drivers License
  • Social Security Card
  • Any fire service certifications you may have received from other agencies.

Additional information regarding benefits and pay rates will be discussed during this process.

Please Note: We do require an annual physical, motor vehicle report and background check.
