Other requirements vary by local fire department, but generally you must be 18 years of age, have a high school diploma or GED, and pass a required SLED background check and physical.

SO MANY WAYS TO VOLUNTEER

From Fighting Fires & EMS to Managing Events, Accounting & More

Volunteering at your local fire company is worth every minute. So if you’ve ever been curious about what it’s like to serve, now is a great time to find out more.
