Volunteer Fire Fighter

Volunteer Fire Fighter

Join Roosevelt City as a Volunteer Fire Fighter where service meets community. Our team thrives in a supportive, hands-on environment built on trust, teamwork, and dedication. We're fueled by purpose-not a paycheck-and we're looking for passionate individuals to stand with us. This is a volunteer position with priceless rewards.

Roosevelt City's Volunteer Fire Department is the heart of our community's safety. As a Fire Fighter here, you're not just a responder-you're a local hero, a neighbor, and a vital part of a tight-knit department. You'll train with professionals, grow your emergency response skills, and contribute meaningfully in every call. If you want to build confidence, gain hands-on experience, and serve where you're most needed, this Fire Fighter opportunity is calling.

As a Volunteer Fire Fighter, no two days are the same. Your time might be spent responding to emergency calls-riding in a fire truck, connecting hoses, or climbing ladders to rescue individuals from dangerous situations. Other times, you'll perform vital maintenance, conduct safety inspections, assist in training drills, or provide public safety education at local events. You'll learn fire prevention, suppression techniques, emergency medical aid, and equipment operation.

Fire Fighters regularly clean and maintain fire station facilities, trucks, and tools. Being a Fire Fighter means you're always ready-for fire, disaster, or helping someone in need.

The schedule is flexible yet meaningful. Volunteer Fire Fighters attend two meetings a month on Monday evenings and remain on-call for fire emergencies. You'll be issued a pager that keeps you connected, allowing you to respond to calls when needed. Your service fits into your life while still making a powerful difference.

We're looking for Fire Fighters who are committed, trainable, and community-minded. You'll need:

• A high school diploma or equivalent
• The ability to perform physically demanding work in hazardous conditions
• Strong communication skills and a desire to help others
• Willingness to work in extreme weather, on-call, and during emergencies
• Residency within Roosevelt City limits (required)

Additionally, you must complete:

• State Certified Fire Fighter I within two years
• FEMA/NIMS Courses 100, 200 & 700
• NWCG Wildland Firefighter Type 2 Certification with annual pack test

We welcome Fire Fighters with varying backgrounds and experiences-if you're eager to learn and serve, you belong here.
