Minatare • Melbeta Fire & Rescue is a multi-function department. We provide fire suppression and emergency medical response to the patrons of our fire district. We are one of three dive equipped departments in the county that make up the county wide dive rescue team. Time requirements vary, however, we train Monday evenings and occasionally on other days that we host specialized trainings. Time commitment will depend on several factors, such as the number of calls the department receives, training requirements, community activities in which the department requires volunteers to participate. We require that volunteers have the ability to respond to calls 24 hours a day, although we still accept volunteers who are unable to leave work or other obligations to respond to a call. All training and firefighting equipment is provided. Volunteer firefighting is an unpaid position. | Requirements: Be at least 21 years of age Have a valid driver’s license Be healthy and in good physical condition Complete basic fire & EMS training (provided by the fire department) Live in close proximity to the fire district Have a clean criminal record Meet the minimum ongoing training requirements Respond to a certain percentage of calls | Categories: EMT, Firefighter
