Join your neighbors in being part of something bigger, and make a connection with your community. We respond to nearly 300 emergencies each year. The Shelburne Fire Department is a professional 100% volunteer organization. We provide essential services to our community including fire suppression, heavy rescue, marine rescue, and hazardous material control, amoung countless other incidents. Joining the department starts with an application. After applying, you’ll undergo an interview, which is also an opportunity to ask questions. At the first Department meeting after the interview, applicants are presented to members, and a one-month waiting period begins. During that time, you’re welcome to attend training and begin meeting members. At the next monthly meeting, your application will be voted on and, if approved, a six-month probationary period begins (though timing varies). At the end of the probationary period, another vote is taken for a status change to full membership. | Requirements: No experience is needed to join the Department. You must possess a positive, "team-player" attitude and be up for a challenge. This is an opportunity to grow as a person! Department training: Held every Thursday from 6:30 to 9:00 pm (except the first Thursday of the month which is reserved for the monthly business meeting). The Shelburne Fire Department provides further training at no cost to the member. Examples include: The Chittenden County Basic Firefighting Course. Firefighter Level I: A modular, State course given at various locations. This course covers all aspects of firefighting and leads to a nationally-recognized certification. There are countless other training opportunities offered by the department! For those who work unusual hours, special arrangements may be made for training. A mentor will be assigned to help you feel welcome and to assist you in training. Commitment: CALLS: It is impossible for every member to make every call. You are required to make a minimum of 10% of all calls. TRAINING: Certain skills must be practiced on a regular basis to meet Federal, State, and Shelburne Fire Department requirements. It is expected that members will attend a minimum of 50% of all trainings. | Categories: Firefighter
