We are looking for individuals who are strong, dedicated, and have a team player mentality. If you love helping people and want to serve your community, this is an opportunity worth taking.

On traffic accidents we have a variety of tasks that need to be completed that do not involve firefighting, extrication, or medical care.

We meet every Monday night at 7pm and some Thursday nights at the same time.
