Volunteer Firefighter

Making a commitment to serve as a Volunteer Firefighter or Emergency Medical Technician is a serious decision. We ask that you take the time to read a little about what we do and get the basic facts about being a volunteer member.

We are here for two basic purposes. First, is to attempt to prevent fires or medical emergencies from happening whenever and wherever possible. We accomplish this daunting task through fire prevention, inspections, engineering, fire safety education, and code enforcement programs. Secondly, we are here to prepare ourselves for an all hazards approach should prevention fail. This is done through training, pre-incident planning, more training, state-of-the-art equipment, and still more training.

Once all the minimum training requirements and competencies are met, a firefighter will be expected to perform the complete range of duties expected at a variety of incidents. Active members respond to calls for assistance with saving lives and property. Firefighting & rescue work involves exposure to physical exertion, extreme heat, hazardous atmospheres and conditions, heights, potential risk of injury in performing duties or handling equipment.
