One of the most significant challenges for rural fire departments is recruiting and maintaining a required number of active members to meet safety standards and the insurance industry’s requirements. Without that minimum number, there is a risk of losing insurance recognition or, worse, the department itself.
You need a basic level of fitness and good health, plus an interest in learning, participating and being a part of a great team. Training is provided for you, and the departments offer a range of opportunities and incentives.
So, if you are working or retired, young or not-so-young, we would love to talk to you. Your support is critical to the fire department’s success and to the effectiveness of your local volunteer fire service.
