Membership Types

Firefighter Membership

Our Volunteer Firefighters serve the community by responding to a wide variety of situations. They perform duties in the following general categories: fire suppression, emergency medical aid or rescue, hazardous material responses, training, and public education. If you are 18 years or older and want to help your community, fill out the interest form.

Junior Corps Membership

Our Junior Corps offers young people 16-17 the opportunity to grow in public service. Through classroom and hands-on instruction and activities, and mentoring from senior firefighters and company leaders, these young adults will learn about volunteer fire service, community service, and the values of trust, respect, loyalty, dedication, and selfless service to others. Most importantly, they’ll learn about themselves and their capabilities, allowing them to explore their full potential for a career or vocation in fire and emergency services. Looking to start your journey, fill out the form here.
