Volunteer Firefighter

If you have the desire to serve, volunteer firefighting may be for you. Departments often utilize community volunteers to assist with the non-emergency tasks of the department. This frees up the firefighters and EMS personnel to focus on training and response activities, while enabling community members to provide needed support to help their local department run.

Volunteer first responders help their fellow citizens in times of need. Volunteers enjoy a sense of accomplishment, achievement, and pride in the work they do. You'd learn new skills, make new friends, be a part of a team, give back to the community, and make a real difference.

As a volunteer firefighter, you're not only in service of the community, but also a more visible member of the community. This means the work that your fire company does in the community directly impacts the people you know and work with daily. This will give your work a stronger sense of purpose and have a positive impact on those in your life. You will get to do this on a daily basis. You'll have a part-time contribution and a community of peers you can truly be proud of and fulfilled by.
