Joining a volunteer fire department is a powerful way to make a difference in your community. As a volunteer firefighter, you will not only gain valuable skills, build lasting connections to those on the fire department, but you'll also be there when your neighbors need help the most. It isn't about fighting fires- it is about stepping up and being a part of something bigger than yourself. Our department is comprised of volunteers with diverse careers from farmers, electricians, and mechanics to teachers, utility workers and pilots. No matter your job experience, if you are willing to learn, we are willing to train you! If you are ready to take the first steps, fill out a membership request form today!

Community Outreach
Teamwork
Fire Safety Education
Firefighter Training
As a volunteer fire department, we respond to a wide range of emergencies, including structure fires, vehicle fires, grass and wildland fires, hazardous material spills, grain bin entrapments, motor vehicle accidents, and medical emergencies. Our commitment to public safety drives us to train regularly and rigorously, ensuring our team remains proficient in the latest firefighting, rescue, and emergency responses techniques. Our mission is to protect lives, preserve property and provide community fire safety education.
In addition to emergency services, we actively engage with our community by providing educational and outreach initiatives. During Fire Prevention Week, we present at the elementary school in town. Learners get to interact with firefighters, tour the fire trucks and learn about fire safety. Older learners learn about fire extinguishers and practice how to properly discharge a fire extinguisher.
On Halloween, we have launched a Safe Crosswalks promotion where firefighters direct traffic coming through town to help trick or treaters cross the street. We know many children want to rush out the door on Halloween so with the help of local sponsors, we distribute water and hot dogs to families trick or treating in Worthing!
