Volunteer – Union Volunteer Fire Department

Volunteer Firefighting

“The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker.” (Helen Keller)

We are always looking for new heroes, workers, and volunteers interested in training and learning how to serve in the emergency services field.

With the fire department being a combination fire department, we are always looking for volunteers interested in becoming trained and educated in the emergency services field. The fire department will pay for that education and training, so all you have to do is let us know that you are interested.

We know that it is stressful reaching out to join an organization that you may not know much about, but please understand that we need you, and your assistance can truly help the community.
