Description
Have you ever wanted to give back to your community? Have you ever wanted to help your neighbors as they experienced one of the worst days of their lives, but just wasn’t sure how? Have you ever witnessed a fire engine headed to a call and thought to yourself, “Wow! I’d love to do that!” If so, then you just may be the person we are looking for.

The Gordon County Fire-Rescue Department (GCFRD) is looking for dedicated individuals to join our team by becoming a member of our Part-time, Per Call Firefighting Corps. Few opportunities in life can match the sense of pride that comes from knowing you are making a difference in the lives of others — something we experience every day! We, at the GCFRD, always seek people who have a strong desire to help others to join with us — people with pride and dedication to making the community safer and better.

Because our work is so important, we make sure all our firefighters are properly trained and equipped; all you need to do is offer the time. If you really want to do something meaningful for your family, friends and neighbors, and are willing to take on challenging work, please consider becoming a member of the Part-time, Per Call Firefighting Corps of our Department by downloading and submitting an application from our website!
