​The Williston Fire Department is currently accepting call staff applications for review in Spring 2022. .One of the worst days a person can have in their life is when they have to call 9-1-1. And yet one of the most fulfilling moments in a person’s life is when they help another in desperate need, ​especially during an emergency. The Williston Fire Department answers those calls every day with both full-time career and part-time call Fire/EMS staff. For us to better serve our community, we need to build our team with more call staff members. Call staff lead normal daily lives outside of the Department but are available to respond to emergencies on an as-needed basis or come to the station for shifts on a regular basis. The Fire Department provides training on a schedule that supports members’ busy lifestyles and personal responsibilities. Members have no personal costs, as all equipment and training is paid for by the Department, and they receive an hourly wage when they attend Department training or respond to emergency calls. No prior training or experience is required although we do encourage individuals with Fire/EMS certification to apply and we do allow dual membership with other Departments while serving with WFD. ​If you are the type of person that wants to experience that most fulfilling moment of helping a neighbor, if you wish to be part of a team that will treat you like family, and do all of this within your own community, please review the information below and consider submitting an application. We look forward to hearing from you! | Requirements: Be at least 18 years of age. Attend our training events that are scheduled every other Monday from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
