April is Volunteer Firefighter month!
This month, we honor the brave men and women who serve our communities not for a paycheck, but out of pure dedication and heart. Volunteer firefighters are the quiet heroes who answer the call at all hours, balancing everyday life with extraordinary service.
Volunteer firefighters are essential for fire and emergency services, providing critical support across the country. They respond to a wide range of emergencies, including fires, medical incidents, accidents, and more. Many departments are actively recruiting volunteers and encourage individuals to consider joining the ranks.
Thank you for your courage, your selflessness, and your commitment. You may not wear a cape, but you carry strength, compassion, and resilience into every call.
Let’s take a moment to show our gratitude to those who protect us without ever asking for anything in return.
To all volunteer firefighters

Have you ever wondered why Firefighters are dispatched when you call for an ambulance?
The answer is that a Firefighter provides care before the ambulance arrives on scene and also provides additional help to the paramedics and EMTs on the scene. This extra manpower enhances support on the scene, whether it’s assisting in the back of the ambulance, helping move a patient, or securing them for transport. There are medical classes for Firefighters to make sure they are educated on how to offer basic medical assistance to EMS. They are known as EMRs, Emergency First Responders. Together we try to provide the best pre-hospital care.
