The
Fire District ALWAYS needs new volunteers. Being a volunteer firefighter can
be one of the most rewarding jobs you can do for your community. Through your
duties on one of the volunteer fire departments, you are provided with the opportunity to give back to the community in which
you live.
There
is no requirement of fire knowledge needed to serve on a volunteer fire department.
All a person must be is willing to learn. Through various trainings offered
throughout the district, every firefighter is properly equipped with the needed knowledge prior to entering the scene of an

a job can be located within the fire department for those individuals willing to learn.
