Volunteer Fire Support Program Member

The fourth program offered is the support program. This program is designed for people in the community to help support the firefighters without actually performing the duties that a firefighter would. This is a new program that is being developed for those who are interested in helping their community and the firefighters who serve it. The support members are asked to be available for support functions, both on and off the fireground. Activities could consist of Keno Community Days and the annual Christmas Tree Lighting. Volunteers in the support program would assist fire suppression operations by assisting with firefighter rehab. Fighting a fire is a lot of hard, labor-intensive, hot work and the number one priority is to keep the firefighters safe, which means keeping them well hydrated and healthy during responses.

If you would like more information on becoming a volunteer at Keno Fire Department, please contact Chief Blair at chiefblair@kenofire.com, or by phone at 541-883-3062.
