The volunteer fire and emergency medical services is a challenging, exciting and rewarding experience, conveniently condensed into one package. It also offers several viable options which you can pursue as a volunteer or in a career position.

If you volunteer, you can be fully trained and state certified at no expense to you or you can pursue a degree and expand your horizon to a career status, if you so choose. Very few things can be a vocation and avocation at the same time, but you have that option as a firefighter.

Fire and emergency services are one of the most diverse and challenging professions today. It is this diversity that inspires most men and women to enter the fire service. Imagine having to train to prepare yourself to cope with situations that range from building fires to childbirth to hazardous chemical spills to heart attacks, and almost any imaginable emergency situation in between.

This business is not for everyone. You need more than just a desire to help people. You need courage and dedication, assertiveness, and a willingness to learn new skills and face new challenges. And you need to have the time, for training sessions, meetings, emergency responses and other duties. The fire and rescue service is not for the meek or timid or for those who lose control during times of crisis.

The personal rewards and satisfaction received from the volunteer emergency services are often beyond description. There is a sense of accomplishment after controlling a building fire, joy and elation when a child is born, compassion for accident victims, and fulfillment in teaching fire safety.
