What is the process to become a volunteer firefighter?
There are several steps before one can be considered a firefighter: • An interview is scheduled with a Chief Officer • After a successful interview, a criminal background is done • A list of potential volunteers is established • Volunteers attend an entry-level volunteer firefighter academy which generally takes place twice a year • Upon completion of the entry level academy, volunteer firefighters are assigned to the appropriate fire station and can then go out on all calls and participate in the weekly drill programs that provide training to meet national standards.
