Description
FVFR Volunteer opportunities exist for people with varying backgrounds--regardless of skill level, gender or physical ability. We have a job for everyone.

The challenge of assisting with auto extrications, Flight for Life, firefighting and medical operations is quite rewarding. Working with local law enforcement, national and state forest service and other mutual aid agencies has its own reward.

If you are seeking a rewarding opportunity, you will find the Firefighter may fit the bill. Volunteers wishing to pursue this challenge will be expected to respond to traffic accidents, structure fires, rescue operations. medical calls, and hazmat incidents. Training is provided for firefighting/medical duties, methods and procedures including the operations of firefighting apparatus, equipment, tools, medical equipment needs, hazmat awareness. Training is once a week, every Monday night.

We also have the wildland firefighter position which requires response to grass fires, wildland incidents, protection of rural communities and assisting other mutual aid agencies.This is a great way to get out and meet the community. Come over to the station and talk to us.

If you are interested in life saving operations of the medical nature, you will find the 1st Responder/EMT positions very rewarding. Our medical operations dictate approximately 75% of our calls which establish initial Basic Life Support care to patients. Having a patient stabilized before Advanced Life Support arrives is critical for patient health considerations.
