Come work with us!
​​We are always looking for District Residents who are willing to serve their community by becoming a Volunteer Firefighter with our District! Experience is not required. Equipment, training and basic uniforms are provided! While we have on-duty crew members 24/7/365, Volunteers remain integral to our operations as a Combination Department and receive "call pay" for each call attended. If interested, stop by the station or call Chief Earls during business hours to discuss the position and its requirements.
