Volunteering
WANTED: Part-time Heroes ~ Full-time Rewards
 If it weren’t for Volunteers, three fourths
of the United States would be without adequate fire protection. This is also true
in our community! Few jobs offer the challenges, recognition and rewards that Volunteer
fire and emergency medical services can offer. Protecting the lives and property
of neighborhood families is our mission.
South Bay Fire Department volunteers respond from our main station in the District.
The district employs five career staff who support over 60 Volunteers who primarily provide response and public service to the South Bay area.
They also have three temporary firefighters to help provide daytime coverage.
We are always looking for dedicated, responsible and ambitious Volunteers to help support our community.
If you think you have what it takes to be a firefighter, please fill out and submit an application.
Applications are accepted year-round however the recruitment process is conducted twice a year, in January and July.
The selection process consists of a written test (general knowledge), a firefighter physical agility course and an interview panel.
The number of membership offers depends upon current Department need.
For questions or further details call us at (360) 491-5320!
