A volunteer position as a Firefighter is something that can't be explained. Doing what we do, for no compensation other than the feeling of knowing we are helping others in their darkest times, or of greatest loss, is greater than any compensation! If you want to feel that feeling, we got a place for you!
We are at the Firehouse every Thursday night, each month, except major holidays. The first Thursday of every month is our Membership Meetings. The Last Thursday of each month is our Board of Directors Meeting. The Thursdays in between, are Drill nights. We start each week at 7PM, unless a special drill or meeting is called, folks are always welcome to stop and visit us. Applications can be picked up in person or there is a link shared below.
