Our volunteers are essential
We rely on volunteers in our 600 plus stations nationwide, to help communities prevent, prepare, respond and recover from emergencies. As well as firefighting, our volunteers attend medical incidents, motor vehicle accidents, severe weather events and other requests for help. We also install and check smoke alarms and help to improve fire safety in our communities.
If you’re a team player, would like to learn new skills and make your community safer, we would love to hear from you. We’re always looking for volunteers and welcome people with life experience, varied educational backgrounds and adults of all ages.
