Support Services Members give strength to our ranks through the support of operational tasks as well as community outreach. Support Services members are involved in filling air bottles on the scene and during training. Support Services members also perform apparatus truck checks as well as provide rehabilitation services for firefighters and EMS personnel. Support Services projects offer many different ways to provide community and district support. Neighborhood, Reserve, and Resident Volunteer Firefighters; and Support Services Members are the backbone of what we do and who we are. Without the participation and the high level of dedication by these members, the services provided by Fire District 10 would be considerably different. Our ability to gain, maintain, and train new volunteers is a direct measurement of our ability to perform the essential functions of the District. Thus, we offer five great ways for you to serve to match your availability, personal goals, and lifestyle. | Requirements: Requirements are listed on our main website; https://www.scfd10.org/join/volunteering-opportunities/ | Categories: Department Support
