The Fayetteville Fire Department attracts some of our community's finest volunteers. Here is what you should think about as you consider applying:
•You will fill out an application, your background will be checked, you will be interviewed by Department representatives and, if recommended, approved by the Village of Fayetteville Board of Trustees.
•You will be required to attend a Department orientation soon after you're acceptance.
•You will be asked what area most interests you (fire or EMS) and assigned a mentor who has experience with the Department.
•You will be expected to move along in a progression to realize your goals and to develop skills you can use as a Department volunteer.
•Though you won't be receiving gear or uniforms until later, upon entry you will be issued a Department T-shirt which will identify you as an active, probationary recruit.
•You will be on probation for six months at which point the membership will vote to continue or terminate your membership in the Department.
•You should be prepared to spend one to two years taking classes and dedicating time to observing and responding before you will become a fully productive member. EMT classes, apparatus operation classes, and fire fighter classes all take time and intense training.
•If you are interested in being an Administrative member you will develop your expectations with your mentor.

Being a part of this Department can be a fulfilling personal experience. It takes time and dedication. If you think you have what it takes, contact us today.
