If you are interested in joining our department, see any member to learn how. Applications must be picked up in person. Members are regularly at the Fire Station every Tuesday night at 7:00 PM. All applications must be filled out completely. A background check also will be performed as part of the application process.

Training

Training is a commitment, but we provide all the training you need on the most advanced equipment. To be certified as a volunteer firefighter, a member must complete Basic Exterior Firefighting Operations (BEFO). This class is offered in multiple formats to allow students to fit it into their schedules.

The firefighting classes are held at the county’s fire training center in Hamden. Advanced courses include working with active fires in a practice building. Other buildings on the campus are for searching for survivors. Specialized courses include ropes rescue, officer training, and other advanced skills. For information about upcoming classes, visit the Delaware County Emergency Services website.
