Would you like to become a Volunteer Firefighter?

Volunteering as a Firefighter or EMT can be the most rewarding, and enjoyable thing you can do. As those of us who volunteer can tell you, being a member has changed our lives, and allows us to give back to our community.

You do not have to have Fire or EMS knowledge, be a bodybuilder, or have loads of extra time. There is a place for everyone in the fire department, and a job for everyone.

Many departments provide training opportunities that can help you to develop a fire career, and help you to get a taste of what firefighting is all about. Departments also provide for a family atmosphere, and a way to socialize with your community. Members often call fellow members their family, as that is how close we become.

So how do you join? The first step is to find out which volunteer fire department serves your community. Your best bet is to try to contact them directly either through someone you know, or just by stopping by. Departments welcome their community stopping by, and would be happy to tell you their requirements and how to apply.
