Join the Team

No prior experience is required to volunteer with RRFPD. The first step is to fill out an application and drop it off at our office. Next, you’ll be interviewed by a panel of firefighters, who will send their recommendations to our fire chief. If approved by the chief, you’ll complete the necessary paperwork, undergo a drug test, and pass a background investigation. Once everything is cleared, we’ll notify you by phone or email that you’ve been accepted as a probationary volunteer.

As a new volunteer, you’ll attend weekly training sessions on Tuesday nights from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and work through our Personal Qualification Standards (PQS) skill book. After completing the PQS and a six-month probationary period, you’ll be evaluated to determine if you can be removed from probation.

If you have any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Our career firefighters make up the three crews that staff Station 1 and respond to any in-district calls. Each crew is on-duty at the station for a 48 hour shift, and then is off-duty for 96 hours. 

We are not accepting applications for paid firefighters at this time. Follow our Facebook page to stay updated on openings!
