Description
The role of a Volunteer with your local Fire Department has always been recognized as one where you get up in the middle of the night or leave your house on a weekend, make a mad dash to the fire house to get your gear on, and climb on a truck to go assist a community member with an emergency.

The history of Fire District 50 has always been this way. It even included the idea that if you worked in the community, you closed your business or had an agreement with your employer where you could leave for emergencies. Unfortunately over the years times have changed. We are looking for Men and Women who live within or outside of the district to volunteer with King Co.
