The standards are high, but the duty is fulfilling. Below are a few facts about volunteer firefighters:

Nationally, fire strikes on an average of every 23 seconds. That is a lot of fires. Now, factor in all the other calls that fire departments respond to for an idea of the workload. In fact, review the call log page on this site to see the type and nature of calls we respond to! Want to help us out?
When fire or emergencies occur there is a high probability that the first person on the scene will be a volunteer.
Volunteers comprise 71% of all firefighters in America. Do you have what it takes?
Of the some 33,000 fire departments in our country, 69% are all volunteer departments and 17% mostly volunteers.
Without volunteer departments, we would not have the emergency services provided by our Department and the expense for these services from surrounding areas would be prohibitive. In addition to saving and protecting life and property, our volunteers save government operating budgets, at all levels, much needed and scarce money which helps keep your taxes lower.
