🚨 Blount County Fire Departments Need Volunteers — Now More Than Ever 🚨
Our local fire departments are struggling to find volunteers, and the need is real.
You might think, “I can’t enter a burning building.”
That’s okay — not everyone does.
Maybe you can:
• Run medical calls
• Help clear trees from roadways
• Assist citizens during emergencies
• Support operations behind the scenes
And if you’re thinking, “I can’t handle blood,” there’s still a place for you. Fire departments need people with all kinds of skills, abilities, and comfort levels. There truly is a role for everyone.
If you’ve ever considered serving your community, now is the time. Reach out to your local fire department and ask how you can help.
Just remember this one question:
“What if no one answered the call?”
Your community is counting on someone to step up. Maybe that someone is you.
