Other roles:
There are many other specialized emergency roles, such as haz-mat, technical rescue, search and rescue, vehicle extrication, and so on. The fire service does much more than simply putting water on fire; we respond to many emergencies of many different types and need people with varying skill sets to help serve our community.

Non-emergency Roles:
We also need non-emergency members to assist with fundraising, event planning, grant writing and administrative roles. We also need people willing to assist with non-emergency functions on a fire scene, such as bringing and handing out water, Gatorade, coffee, and food to emergency volunteers during extended operations.

While we can always use those individuals willing to devote their time to
train to be firefighters and ambulance personnel, there are many other
functions performed by volunteers that do not require the intensive
training and skill set associated with these positions.
We need
individuals that can participate fund raising events, serve on
committees, write grants, maintain trucks and equipment, drive vehicles,
direct traffic and so on. If you want to learn more contact us today!
All classes, training and gear with the exception of EMT-Paramedic provided free of charge, all that is needed is your time and willingness to help out. Training every Tuesday night at 7 PM, monthly meeting every second Tuesday of each month at 8 PM
