Interested in Becoming a Volunteer Firefighter?
The Service Incendies Kazabazua-Danford Lake Fire Department is looking for volunteer firefighters. Volunteer firefighting isn’t gender or age specific. There are men and women of all ages who volunteer in a variety of fire department roles – both operational and non-operational. In many communities, volunteers are the only way to provide emergency services, and it takes many types of people performing many different functions to get the job done. There are lots of wonderful stories of senior citizens who volunteer well into their sixties and seventies, doing what they can to serve their communities. The same is true for our youth. Junior firefighter programs allow youth to experience the responsibility of helping someone in need and in many cases introduces them to career choices and leadership experience they may not see in a classroom.
