Volunteer FAQ’s
Your time commitment will vary from week to week. On average, volunteers put in twelve hours per week. Many put in more. We are willing to work with individuals on an as-needed basis.
Of course. If you have a full-time job, you can still volunteer and put your hours in during evenings and on weekends.
No problem! We’ll train you to be a front line emergency medical service specialist. Best of all, it won’t cost you anything. Thousands of dollars of valuable career training will be made available to you without any cost to you. We want you…not your money.
Absolutely not. Your training, uniform, equipment, even your required health physical, will be provided for free.

It is simple to become a member of the ambulance squad.

The men and women who serve as volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) are caring, courageous men and women who lead active lives and still find time to give back to their community. They live their lives like each and every one of us. They are teachers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, business people and local storeowners. When they get home, they spend, as much time as possible with their families just to show them how much they love them. Yet, somehow, these men and women are different. They are special. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, they make the lives of all local citizens safer and more secure…without ever asking for a thank you or compensation.
They are our “hometown heroes.”
Dare to be a Lifesaver. VOLUNTEER.
