Volunteer Firefighter

Volunteers are the backbone of the fire service, and YOU can be part of the team that saves lives and protects property in our community! No experience? No problem—Hoodland Fire provides all the training and skills you need to serve as a volunteer firefighter.

Hoodland Fire District #74 is a combination department with both career and volunteer staff, responding to approximately 1,000 calls per year. Volunteers work side-by-side with professional firefighters, providing critical emergency medical care and fire suppression services.

We seek responsible, team-oriented individuals who are ready to train, respond, and serve their community. If you're physically and mentally capable and eager to make an impact, this is your chance to join a dedicated team.

Benefits of Volunteering:
- Receive comprehensive training in firefighting, emergency medical care, apparatus operations, hazardous materials response, and more.
- Earn a quarterly stipend to help offset costs after completing required training.
- Serve your community while gaining valuable hands-on experience and developing skills that can benefit you personally and professionally.

We're always accepting applications — but summer is the perfect time to apply as we gear up for our Fall Training Academy. Reach out to Lt. Evan Jarvis evanjarvis@hoodlandfire.gov with questions.
