**Applicants with prior fire service experience may have priority when prospective applicants are considered for

membership. Such applicants shall submit a letter of reference from their previous Fire Chief to be considered for this priority.

While the benefits of joining are significant and meaningful, becoming a volunteer firefighter involves a tremendous investment in time and personal dedication. Being an LVFD member is so much more than fighting fires and rescues! All members are expected to participate in our community prevention programs, department fundraising events, and many other activities in support of the department and the greater Lander community.

If you're ready for a meaningful and life-changing adventure, fill out and submit the online application below and a recruitment committee member will reach out to schedule your first interview.
