Volunteer Firefighter

Overview

While the Town employs a full-time fire and rescue career staff, there is still a crucial need for reserve personnel. Fire and rescue relies on the important contributions of these reservists to assist career employees in providing emergency operations and support functions. The work is rewarding - you can see first hand your accomplishments, and our citizens and visitors are grateful for your help.
