Volunteer Firefighting…
More Than Fighting Fires
Firefighting is not for everyone, but volunteering can be!!
The Brookville Volunteer Fire Company offers a number of
opportunities to serve your community through the volunteer fire
service, and much of it has nothing to do with firefighting.
Fire and emergency services are one of the most diverse and
challenging professions. The diversity in this line of work is
what inspires most men and woman to volunteer in the fire
service. Members must train and prepare to cope with situations
that range from building fires to water rescue to hazardous
materials incidents, and almost any other emergency situation.
The fire service is not for everyone. You need more than a
desire to help people in order to succeed. You need courage,
dedication, assertiveness, and an open mind to learn new skills
and face new challenges. You will also need to have the time for
training sessions, meetings, emergency responses, and various
other functions.
There are many other ways to assist your community through the
Brookville Volunteer Fire Company. These include the following:
Recruitment, Fund-Raising, Record-Keeping, Financial
Services, Building Renovations, and Community Service.
The personal rewards and satisfaction received from the
volunteer fire service give every member a sense of
accomplishment when a goal is achieved. The brotherhood and
teamwork exemplified within the fire service helps individuals
develop and maintain friendships. The information learned
through the fire service will also help you achieve your goals
both educationally and professionally.
If you are looking for a change of pace in your life or if you
would make yourself a more well rounded individual look into
joining the Brookville Volunteer Fire Company.
