Make a Life-changing Resolution: Join the Community Fire Co. of Perryville. Firefighter, EMT, Fire Police & non-emergency roles available.
If you’re seeking a meaningful way to help others in your community while learning new skills and building friendships that feel like family, becoming a Community Fire Company of Perryville volunteer is the perfect New Year’s resolution for you.
“We need firefighters, junior firefighters, EMTs and fire police to work as a team and save lives and property,” said Chief Bradley Willis. “We also need non-emergency volunteers to help with maintenance, community events, fundraising, and more. Whatever you’re interested in, your community needs your help.”
“All you need to get started is the will to help others,” said Assistant Chief Chris Culler. “Few people walk into the firehouse for the first time knowing how to respond to an emergency. We provide free, cutting-edge training. We hold regular practice drills. And we always work together as a team.”
The Community Fire Company of Perryville has immediate volunteer opportunities for people ages 16 and up in the following positions:
Firefighter: Fight fires and prevent them. Rescue people from accidents and hazardous conditions. Educate the community in fire prevention and safety.
Junior firefighter: Join at age 16 or 17, start your firefighter training, and earn your certification.
EMT: Provide emergency medical treatment and hospital transport. Share critical information with hospital staff to ensure the best patient care. Provide free CPR training for community residents.
Fire Police: Protect first responders and the public by maintaining order and safety around fire and accident scenes. Direct people and traffic.
Non-emergency volunteer: Our fire company could not succeed without volunteers who never respond to emergencies! Help with vehicle and station maintenance. Use your administrative,
fundraising, event organization, and other skills to keep our fire company strong.
