Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians
Expand your horizons, your sense of community, and your job skills. Experience is not required, as we will provide you with all necessary training. Responders need not be available during the day (though it does help), and all training is scheduled to accommodate the working person’s schedule.
Respond to a variety of emergency calls. Receive full training and all equipment at the Department’s expense. We need people who are willing to make a long-term commitment to the Department and the community, whose hearts beat a little faster at the sound of a siren, and who desire to do something a bit out of the ordinary with their lives.
Communications Responders
Respond to the fire station whenever there is an emergency to handle communications between emergency responders and other support agencies. If you have experience in handling a communications system or would like to learn, please contact us.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time commitment to be a Firefighter/EMT?
The time commitment is as much time as you can afford to give. The Department meets 3 out of 4 Thursday’s each month for training and general Department activities. Firefighters and EMTs respond to emergencies as they are able.
Is there an age limit?
An individual can become a firefighter at the age of 18 and continue on as long as they wish to be an active member. Our longest standing active member joined the Lee Fire Department 37 years ago.
What training is available?
Training is available for Firefighters and EMTs. Both classes are about 4 months long and based on adult continuing education principles. Training occurs after work (regular business hours) and some weekends.
I’d like to become a member of the Department, but I don’t want to be a firefighter or EMT. Is there anything else I can do to help?
YES! The Department is always looking for non-responder member to assist in keeping operations running smoothly. Please refer to the General Information section for details on these opportunities.
