Interested In Becoming A Member?

As an active firefighter in our company you will be expected to be just that, active. You will need to attend at least one company meeting a quarter and at least 8 in-hall trainings every year. New firefighters must take the state Firefighter 1 course and be state certified as soon as possible. Training you may take includes courses on firefighting, victim extrication, rescue strategies, apparatus operation, and basic EMT. All training is free to members.

After your first year in the company you will be able to run for and vote for officer positions. It is encouraged that you participate in both running for positions and voting for them. Since voting is conducted at meetings, you are encouraged to attend as many meetings as possible. In addition, after five years of meeting service reward requirements you will be eligible for monetary retirement benefits.

Any member of the company who is interested in playing on the company softball team may participate on the team, whose season runs from May to August. The summer time is filled with enjoyable activities for our members, including picnics, dinners, conventions, and trips. Members also have access to all of the recreational and fitness facilities at the hall.
