Volunteer Firefighter

After you join, you'll need to complete NYS-approved firefighter or EMT training. These are rigorous courses that require 150-200 hours of classroom time plus hands-on drills. Active members are expected to respond to as many alarms as possible, complete required ongoing training and drills, regularly attend cleanups, and participate in other activities.

Other than a $15 application fee, there is none. The District pays for the costs of your training and required gear. The District also pays for a physical exam, drug test, some health benefits, and workmen's comp insurance.

High school students can join. Those who work in Armonk are eligible to join regardless where they live. We especially need volunteers for weekday working hours.

Come down to the firehouse on Monday evening at 7:30. That's when we have our weekly cleanup and drills. Simply walk in and tell the first person you see that you might want to join. To speed up the process, download and complete the Membership Application.
