Becoming a Fire Prevention Community Service Volunteer

The Community Service Volunteer program is in the Community Education division of the Fire Prevention Bureau. Volunteers are matched to available activities by their interests and abilities and the needs of the Department. Volunteers may:

•  Help teach fire safety programs 
•  Staff public displays and events 
•  Assist on emergencies 
•  Be a “victim” for emergency drills*
•  Help with clerical and computer work 
•  Use their special skills and/or knowledge to help enhance our Department

The first step to apply as a Community Service Volunteer is to complete an Initial Volunteer Application. Adults 18 years and older must pass a background check and attend a Volunteer Orientation.*  Volunteers must be at least 16 years old.

*Volunteers interested only in participating as “victims” in emergency drills can be added to a notification list without going through the complete Orientation process.

To find out more about the types of opportunities we have, check out the Volunteer Job Descriptions.

To begin the volunteer application process, complete and submit the Initial Volunteer Application . For further information email or call:
