Department Resources

The role of the fire/EMS department in the community is an important one, and not just for the provision of emergency services. The fire/EMS department becomes a focal point, a place that becomes a family not only to those who serve in it, but to the citizens around it. A place where children find their heroes, a place that people young and old alike hold in the highest regard. Being such an important part of the community creates an interest and willingness of community members to give of their time to help the department grow and meet its mission: to serve those around it.

Fire Corps is here to help departments utilize community volunteers to increase capacity and expand services, and has created the resources needed to start, maintain, and grow your Fire Corps program.
