Firefighter/Medical Responder

Sylva Fire Dept

24 Municipal Dr
Sylva, NC 28779
828-586-1020


Description
We are looking for individuals who are strong, dedicated, and have a team player mentality. If you love helping people and want to serve your community, this is an opportunity worth taking. If your interests are in the medical field, you have the opportunity to achieve medical responder certification and assist us with serving our communities' medical needs.. If firefighting and extrication of patients from vehicles peaks your interest, we offer many training opportunities that can help you achieve your firefighter certification. If neither firefighting or the medical aspect of being on the department interests you there are always many other different ways you can help us. On traffic accidents we have a variety of tasks that need to be completed that do not involve firefighting, extrication, or medical care. We do community outreach in schools and daycares as a partnership with the Jackson County Fire Marshal's Office. We hold an open house each year, we host blood drives and we participate in community events like the Christmas parade, Fire Prevention Week Parade and WCU's Homecoming parade. Our membership is open to everyone. The only requirements are that you show up with a helping heart and the dedication to serve everyone in our community. We meet every Monday night at 7pm and some Thursday nights at the same time. If you're unsure about putting in an application but want to see what the department is about just stop by on Monday nights and we'd be happy to show you around.
