JOIN COUNTY FIRE

Consider the challenge of helping people at all hours of the day or night, seven days a week, in any kind of weather and under very stressful and emotional conditions. Imagine learning and developing skills to cope with a variety of situations that include: structure and wildland interface fires, emergency medical responses, vehicle accidents, hazardous materials spills and many other emergencies.

THE NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS

The fire and rescue service is one of the most diverse and challenging professions known today. It is this diversity that inspires most men and women to enter the profession, whether as a volunteer or career employee.

Firefighting is not for everyone. You need more than just a desire to help people. You need courage, dedication, assertiveness, and the willingness to learn new skills and face new challenges. Committing to serve as a Volunteer Firefighter in your community is a serious decision. It should not be made lightly.

If you believe you have what it takes to meet the challenges of our business, we welcome you to join us!!!
