Some benefits of volunteering:

Could possibly lead to a career in the fire service. Many of our members have gone on to careers in the fire service after volunteering with us.

No Experience Necessary for new members:

We are seeking community-minded people with a desire to serve their community in the noblest way. Volunteer positions are currently available for Firefighter/EMS, EMS only and administrative members.

All training and equipment are provided free of charge. All it takes is a desire to serve your community and a few hours a week! If you have a few spare hours a week and would like to make a difference in your community and make new lifelong friendships, come and see what we have to offer. The only thing it will cost you is your time.

Reciprocity consideration is also given to people from other jurisdictions and out of state that already have training and experience.

If you are interested in our student live-in program or just a community-minded person looking to help your neighbor, WE NEED YOU!
