Become a Volunteer Today!
The Nature of Our Business
The fire / EMS and rescue field is one of the most diverse and challenging professions today. It is this diversity that inspires men and women to enter the service, both as volunteers and career personnel. Imagine having to train to prepare yourself to cope with situations ranging from fires to hazardous materials spills to heart attacks, water rescue and to almost any imaginable emergency situation in between. Couple this with the fact that these skills may be needed at any time of the day, seven days a week, in any kind of weather and very often under potentially stressful and emotional circumstances, and it is evident that our profession is one of the most physically and emotionally demanding. However, with the right mindset and the support of loved ones, it is also one of the most personally rewarding jobs in existence.
EVERYONE Has Something To Offer
As in all things, not everyone is cut out to perform all types of duties. Some people, through choice and or due to physical limitations, are unable to perform the tasks required to be “Riding” members. Rest assured, we welcome these people also! There are MANY duties involved in keeping an organization running, from administrative details to supporting firefighters and EMS personnel on incident scenes. In addition, many people aren’t sure they can stand to perform the tasks which may be demanded of them as active firefighters/EMS personnel; by joining as an administrative member you can get to know the people and duties of the fire service and decide what your role should be, while still availing yourself of the numerous benefits offered.
Thinking About Joining?
