Oak Ridge Volunteer Fire Department

We’re always looking for people who want to join our 100% volunteer team.  We have opportunities that fit any schedule or lifestyle.  Some of our current members can only commit to one hour each month.  Others have additional time to volunteer on a weekly basis.  The best part about the fire department is that we’re open 24/7/365, so there’s something for everyone! 

​

To get started, no prior experience is needed!  If you're interested in helping, we're happy to have you.  Training and any necessary equipment is provided at no cost to you.  

​

Our department is made up of two main groups: those that respond to calls for assistance and others who support the department in ways other than a traditional firefighter.  Opportunities include, but are not limited to:

​

• Firefighter​

  • ​Those interested in assisting their neighbors and others in the community in a time of need.  This role responds to calls for assistance 24/7/365.  Individuals in this role don't have to enter a burning building!  Our firefighters wear many hats and perform jobs such as firefighting, scene support, driving/operating emergency vehicles, and other lifesaving tasks.  ​​

• Administrative

  • Those who volunteer their time fulfilling traditional non-profit activities including: fundraising, bookkeeping, community relations (in-person events, social media, networking.)  ​

• Service

  • Those who volunteer their time fulfilling a specific need within the department, such as vehicle maintenance, facility maintenance (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc.)​

• Junior​​

  • 15-17 year-old members of the community (with parental permission) who wish to participate in some of the opportunities above.​
