Junior Firefighters:
Are you between the ages of 16 and 18? Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a firefighter? Join other high school students who are members of our junior firefighter program to find out. With proper training, you can respond to emergency incidents side by side with our volunteer firefighters. You will need to obtain your parent's consent before completing the application.
All required classes are made available at no cost to members and have varying schedules to accommodate most people.
