FDMH is looking for your help! We are actively recruiting volunteer firefighters that live or work in our community. We are a combination fire department, staffed by lots of volunteers and some full time staff. We serve the areas of Mount Horeb, Blue Mounds and towns of Cross Plains, Vermont, Blue Mounds, Springdale, Perry and Primrose in Dane County, Wisconsin.

No prior training is needed; classes are provided to train you to do firefighting skills. After training you must complete 36 hours of training each year and respond to a minimum of 10% of our fire calls to remain in good standing with FDMH.

Emergencies happen on our highways as well as in our homes, schools and job sites. This means the safety of our community is dependent on the generous contribution of time and talent of our volunteer EMTs, EMS Drivers and Firefighters. There is nothing more satisfying in life than helping people in emergency situations. The satisfaction you will enjoy by helping to save lives and protect property in your community is immeasurable. In addition, you will develop organizational skills, problem-solving skills, camaraderie with your fellow volunteers and staff, and find opportunities for life-long learning.
