Operating Resources

Retaining and recruiting department personnel is an ongoing concern for the fire and emergency services. 1-800-FIRE-LINE was created to assist in retention and recruitment efforts by offering an inexpensive, easily-managed mechanism to recruit volunteers for fire/EMS departments through a simple, toll-free number. Fire Corps and the NVFC have created a variety of operating resources that you can use to enhance the effectiveness of 1-800-FIRE-LINE in your state and local area.

 

These operating resources walk you through the steps of implementing and maintaining 1-800-FIRE-LINE, assist in organizing information and data from potential volunteers, and create a valuable connection between your organization and the various fire and emergency service organizations within your state by helping them to retain and recruit both emergency and non-emergency volunteers for their departments. These tools can be used as-is or modified to reflect the specific needs of your organization.
