JOIN OUR TEAM
Did you know 70 % of the departments in the country are volunteer?
We are always needing those to step up to the challenge to make a difference.
No previous experience or training is required to become a volunteer. All training is provided by the department upon completion of probation. Each Month we will host monthly training sessions. In addition, Judson Fire Department will provide costs of Fire Academy and EMT certification training through available grant funding.
