When do the Volunteer Firefighters Train?
Firefighters meet 3-4 times a month, Thursday evenings from 7-10 pm. Other special training sessions do arise. Drills consist of fire suppression techniques and to practice medical skills. Other drill topics include water rescue, rope rescue, CPR recertification, vehicle extrication, hazardous materials response and confined space rescue.
Do you have to go into burning buildings?
No. If you wish to become a volunteer and not wish to enter IDLH (Immediate Danger to Life and Health) atmospheres you can become a "support volunteer" Support volunteers can drive fire apparatus, respond to medical emergencies and do support function like traffic control on a vehicle accident.
Is there any compensation for being a Volunteer?
These are volunteer positions. Volunteers are covered under workers compensation insurance in the event of an injury. There is a small stipend program for attending calls/trainings.
