Why Volunteer?

Among the countless benefits of why you should volunteer, here are our favorites: 

  • Earn the satisfaction of giving back to the community while you protect lives and property
  • Receive free training – and nationally recognized training – provided through the county, paid for by us
  • Acquire knowledge and life skills that can be used in your current career or explore a career in emergency services 
  • Experience an adrenaline rush while you answer a wide-range of calls
  • Meet new people and create lifelong friendships 
  • Get involved in the community: help out at events, and teach kids and seniors about fire safety 
“Everything I have is from joining the volunteer service: my wife, my degree, my career all started at age 16 when I walked through the fire department door with an application.” 
– Steve Schultz, Firefighter and EMT
