Join Our Team!

 The personal rewards and satisfaction received from the fire and EMS service are often beyond description. There is a sense of accomplishment after controlling a building fire, joy and elation when a child is born, compassion for accident victims, and fulfillment in teaching fire safety. However, this business is not for everyone.

In addition to a desire to help people, you also need courage, dedication, assertiveness, and a willingness to face new challenges. Often, our members are called on to perform hot, sweaty, dirty, strenuous work, sometimes in uncertain and hazardous environments.

Men and women age 16 and older who are in good physical condition and have the desire to participate in emergency fire and/or medical activities are eligible for membership. There are many levels of participation in the active membership class. They are determined by certifications you'll obtain through various training programs that we provide and/or facilitate.

Making a commitment to serve as a volunteer firefighter or emergency medical technician is a serious decision and involves a profound commitment. Your decision to join us should not be made quickly. This portion of our web site gives you a only a basic sense of the information needed to help you make that decision. Stop by and chat with any member of our team to get more information.

Once you understand what is involved, we hope you will find that you are able to make the commitment we need to contribute to the safety of the community and its citizens. You will find that participation as a volunteer member of our service will bring personal rewards and satisfaction, raise self-esteem, and give you a tremendous sense of accomplishment for a job well done.
