Volunteer Firefighters Have Full-Time Jobs Too

One of the biggest myths about volunteering? That it takes over your life. In reality, our members are plant workers, teachers, contractors, and parents who carve out time around their full-time jobs and families to serve this community.

If time is the only thing holding you back, come talk to us — we'll help you find a schedule that works.

Another Night of Training in the Books! 🚒

Tonight's training took us out into the community! Our crew performed pre-plan inspections of local businesses — making sure we have updated contact information and are aware of any hazards on site before a fire ever happens. Knowing a building before an emergency makes all the difference when seconds count.

We also ran hydrant inspections throughout our response area, checking that every hydrant is accessible and in good working order — a critical resource we rely on every time we're fighting fire.

Thanks to everyone who came out to watch! Swipe through for a few photos from tonight. 📸

Building Confidence Through Training

Confidence on a real call doesn't come from hoping you'll figure it out — it comes from having done it a hundred times before in training. Tonight's drills are all about turning repetition into real, on-scene confidence. We will be out in the field so get here early if you want to see what we are up to.

Training starts at 6:00 PM — stop by and watch!

Hurricane Evacuation Planning

Do you know your parish's evacuation zone? If a hurricane is bearing down on South Louisiana, that's not the time to figure out your route for the first time.

✅ Know your evacuation zone
✅ Map at least two routes out
✅ Plan for pets, medications, and important documents
✅ Decide where you'll go — family, hotel, or shelter

A plan made today is one less decision you'll have to make under pressure.

PASS Device

PASS stands for Personal Alert Safety System. This small but critical device automatically sounds a loud alarm if a firefighter stops moving for too long — alerting the rest of the crew that someone may be down and needs help immediately.

In zero-visibility, high-heat conditions, this device can be the difference between a quick rescue and a tragedy.
