Volunteer Category: Firefighter
Requirements
To be a firefighter, you must be over 18 (those between 15 and 17 may apply for Junior Firefighter roles), and you must be willing to make time for the fire department. That means attending weekly trainings and participating in department operations, including emergency response, when available. We require 24 hours of training per year for all active members. We conduct trainings on Tuesday evenings. All training and equipment is provided for free.
Firefighting and rescue operations are physically demanding, and require a high degree of fitness. But if you are not very fit or are physically disabled in some way, don't count yourself out! There are many valuable roles in the fire service that might be a good fit for you. All roles on our department are open to any gender, and we welcome all people in our community at our agency. Come meet us and learn more!
To be a firefighter, you must be trustworthy. Your duties as a firefighter will place you in contact with children, vulnerable adults, and in the homes of strangers. For this reason, applicants will be subject to a criminal background check.
Finally, you must live in the Pawlet, Vermont area to join our fire department. If you do not live in the area, please seek out the fire department in your community.
