Do you have what it takes to be a volunteer firefighter?

Our selection criteria require that volunteers:
• Be at least 16 years of age.
• Have a valid driver’s license.
• Be healthy and in good physical condition.
• Complete basic fire or EMS training
• Live in close proximity to the fire station.
• Have a clean criminal record.
• Meet the minimum ongoing training requirements.
• Respond to a certain percentage of calls.

Time requirements vary by department. Time commitment will depend on several factors, such as the number of calls the department receives, training requirements, shift versus on-call structure, and community activities in which the department requires volunteers to participate.

Volunteer departments prefer that volunteers have the ability to respond to calls 24 hours a day, although most departments accept volunteers who are able to respond to calls.

Our departments pay for training and firefighting equipment. Volunteer firefighting is an unpaid position. However, departments have other volunteer benefits provided through the county.

*Volunteer requirements differ by department. If you have a specific question about requirements in your area, please Contact Us: www.GearUpFireRescue.com
