All fire departments across the county need help. We’ve heard all the excuses: I can’t commit to (fill in the blank), I’m not always available, I’m too young/old, I don’t know anything about it... those are just excuses.
We are all volunteers. We can when we can, and we can’t when we can’t.

This is an incredible job that pays you back in ways that aren’t money.
If you’ve ever thought about it, contact the Volunteer Fire Department in your community. The hardest part... walking through that station door the very first time.
We all live in the communities we serve. How can you make a difference?
Every fire department across the country needs your help.🔥🚒
