Recruitment
Recruitment
Our tradition of service to this community has only been possible through the participation of many dedicated volunteers. You could be the next member of our dedicated family! We offer a variety of ways to be involved and a number of benefits. Currently, our greatest need is more community members who are willing to serve as firefighters or EMTs. We also annually recruit college students to be EMTs. Please consider carefully whether this could be an exciting and meaningful way that you could serve your community.

Fundraising
We depend on the support of the public for all of our funding. The vast majority of our operational budget comes from various fundraising activities, such as chicken BBQs and Study Buddy packs (see above) for college students. We appreciate any support you can provide.
