Our volunteers are essential
We rely on volunteers in our 600 plus stations nationwide, to help communities prevent, prepare, respond and recover from emergencies. As well as firefighting, our volunteers attend medical incidents, motor vehicle accidents, severe weather events and other requests for help. We also install and check smoke alarms and help to improve fire safety in our communities.
Our volunteer brigades are made up of locals who have different professions and skills, with one thing in common - to be there for their community.
If you’re a team player, would like to learn new skills, and keep your community safer, we would love to hear from you. We’re always looking for volunteers to join us from a wide range of backgrounds and welcome people who are genuinely interested in helping others.
