COMMUNITY HEROES<br />

VOLUNTEER TO BE AN EVERYDAY HERO<br />

Volunteer firefighting is<br />

one of the most rewarding<br />

experiences you’ll ever<br />

have. Community VFD<br />

offers free fire training and<br />

volunteering is a great<br />

way to make a difference<br />

personally while having<br />

a positive impact in your<br />

community. Volunteers can<br />

fight fires, drive apparatuses, extract patients from vehicles at<br />

accident scenes, etc.<br />

Community VFD also provides emergency medical services (EMS)<br />
