Interested in becoming a member or want to know what it takes, then you have come to the right place.
Members are required to do certain things based on what their abilities and certifications are. Each member, to remain active is required to attend 8 hours of OSHA training yearly. This is manditory for all active members. However, there are different classes of members that do not require this training. Those members are Associate and Life members. These people have put in some time and are no longer on the 'front' line of the fire department.
Upon initial acceptance to the fire department, you will be asked to attend as many department functions as possible. You will also be required to attend a training class within the first two years of becoming a member. This training will depend on what you are looking to do. The three types of classes are Fire Police training, scene support (basically how to help out on the fire scene) and Firefighter One (the firefighting part). In addition to these, if you choose to take on additional classes, you are more than welcome. We also participate in EMS programs where you can obtain your EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) where we pay the fees.
If none of that sounds good, you can take the scene support and still help out around the station. One of those three classes must be taken within the first two years, with annual 8 hrs of OSHA each year after.
