“ We save lives.”
WELCOME and thank you for taking some time to learn more about volunteering for our Fire and Emergency Services. Our department volunteers are our first line of emergency response and have a broad responsibility for the overall safety of the community. Our members, who answer all calls for help, are extraordinary people, just like you!
Volunteering for the Fire and Emergency Services can be a rewarding and life-changing experience for men and women. If you have a sincere desire to help others in their greatest moments of need, volunteering some of your time is a great idea. There is a great sense of pride, accomplishment and community spirit knowing that you are a part of a volunteer team dedicated to excellence and community service.
Our Departments are family oriented organizations providing opportunities for new and long lasting friendships within our communities.
BECOME PART OF OUR TEAM! There are many ways you can use your knowledge and skills to help our fire and emergency departments as a volunteer. Consider some of these areas that you can assist.
