BECOME A RESIDENT
Resident volunteer Firefighter/EMT’s live in the fire station and represent the community every day. Housing, a monthly food budget, and training are available to those who become a resident and practice the skills that will help them to become a fulltime firefighter.
VOLUNTEER
Volunteer work is the backbone of any community and a very fulfilling way to give back. Our district was started by volunteers and exists to this day due to the privilege given to us by the volunteers. We appreciate each and every volunteer committed to giving support during a person’s most difficult times, when their life or livelihood is threatened.
