If you would like to support our efforts, there are a number of volunteer opportunities. If you are not one who wants to rush into afire or ride in back of an ambulance, there are other ways you can help. We also need drivers, people to help load patients, roll the fire hoses, help on searches, assist with our festivals, or even someone to bring snacks and drinks to events we are tied up on. If you are interested in helping, please reach out to us and we can discuss which possibilities work for you.
More information can be found on the County’s recruitment webpage.
