WHY VOLUNTEER?
The No. 1 reason to be a firefighter is to serve others. Although trained to make wise decisions and prepare for emergencies, firefighters know the risk of injury or even death is present on every call. The willingness to take that risk to save someone else is truly the nature of someone with a servant's heart. If you are interested in joining our organization, please read the following information and if you choose "YES" to the 4 questions, we encourage you to fill out an online interest card and a recruitment coordinator will contact you.
