Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much time does it take to be a volunteer?
A. It varies from week to week, but on average you'll put in seven or eight hours. Many volunteers enjoy putting in more.
Q. What will my training cost?
A. It will cost you nothing. Experienced, professional training will be made available to you.
Q. How long will it be before I can make a genuine contribution?
A. Immediately. And your responsibilities will increase as you gain experience and training.
Q. Will I have any out-of-pocket costs?
A. No. Your uniform, equipment – even your annual physical – will be provided for free.
Q. How do I get started?
A. Click here to fill out the volunteer profile form or call us at 877-WE2-WANTU, and we’ll help put you in touch with your local fire or EMS District. Because Districts often overlap town lines, don’t assume that the nearest station is necessarily your local agency – check with us.
