Who can be a volunteer firefighter or EMT?

If you have the desire to serve, you can be a volunteer firefighter or EMT. You don’t need any prior experience in the emergency services; you will receive the training you need when you join the department. Your local department will likely have specific requirements, such as a minimum age or background check, but these vary by department. If you want to help your community in ways few can, contact your local department to find out how to join.
