Retention & Recruitment for the Volunteer Emergency Services: Challenges & Solutions 7 • Host food stands at the local or State fair. • Build a house and sell it (this is an unusual but fun fundraising event--one department made $40,000). • Hold a community haunted house at Halloween (charge admission to raise funds). • Hold a day with Santa at the firehouse. • “Dunk the Chief” at the annual picnic or fair. • Host “Chicken Drop” and “Cow Pie” bingo. • Hold “Toys for Tots” drives. • Host community or departmental picnics. • Hold holiday parties. • Host an annual picnic. • Hold a spouse’s supper. • Host a firefighters’ breakfast prepared by the officers. • Take group trips to the theater or sporting events. • Host departmental sports events and their variations, such as donkey softball or softball in protective clothing. • Rent a skating rink for an evening. • Invite lecturers to speak on health concerns, dietary programs, or family interest topics. • Run a simulated “smoke house” to educate the public on fire safety and prevention. • Host fire apparatus musters. • Hold a department function someplace out of the ordinary. • Instead of always having the department’s Christmas dinner at the firehouse, move it to a site outside the entire protection area where everyone could relax without worrying about the alarm sounding. To maintain fire protection in the home district while away, ask volunteers from neighboring stations to fill in, and then reciprocate. (Note that some fun activities should be restricted to members and their families, so that there is some exclusivity about who can earn the right to join.)
