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 three fire stations in the District, with each station housing a pumper, water tender truck and a rescue unit. The district employs four career staff who support over 30 Volunteers who primarily provide response and public service to the South Bay area.

We are always looking for dedicated, responsible and ambitious Volunteers to help support our community.

Volunteer Firefighters are...

  • Emergency Responders – We will train you to safely respond and engage in firefighting operations, provide emergency medical assistance and serve the community in a way no other Volunteer organization can offer.
  • Recognized & Respected – Your dedication efforts don’t go unnoticed. The community appreciates your work, as does your fellow Volunteers. We value our Volunteers and provide on-going training as well as social events for our Volunteers.
  • Rewarded with Benefits – Our District offers Volunteers a competitive array of financial incentives, educational and training opportunities as well as insurance and retirement benefits.
  • Rewarded with Personal Satisfaction – Volunteers are rewarded with the personal satisfaction of serving their community, saving a life or dwelling and serving a necessary purpose to the well-being of their fellow man.

Volunteer – not so you can build your resume
– but so you can build yourself.
