Volunteer Firefighter

We are accepting applications for volunteer firefighters. Our next class will be January. M.F.R. requires all members to take a department taught new members class. Normally a new member class is held every January. The new member class typically lasts 6-8 weeks, one night a week with a couple of Saturdays. Basic essentials of firefighting & fire ground safety are reviewed. New Members are given 3 years to achieve Firefighter 1 certification. FF-1 is taught in house by our Training Staff. Upon successful completion of FF-1 you will receive IFSAC national accreditation from KUFST.

M.F.R. reimburses its volunteers $3.00 per call and $4.00 per training session. You can also receive an extra $.25 for E.M.T., Paramedic, or First Responder certification, $.25 for Firefighter-I certification, $.25 for Firefighter-II certification, $.25 for Driver-Operator certification & $.25 for holding selected officers positions as designated in Department Bylaws.
