Key Peninsula Fire

Volunteer Program

We have set very high standards that must be met by our volunteers. Our program is designed to improve service delivery to the citizens on the Key Peninsula, while providing an opportunity for those that want to give back to their community, and/or gain additional training and experience for a future career in the fire service.

Volunteers are on call to respond to a wide array of emergencies including fires, medical incidents, vehicle collisions, water rescue and natural disasters. They also respond to "general alarms" when on-duty firefighters are responding to multiple calls or a major incident. Besides responding to emergencies, we rely on our volunteers to participate in a variety of public education events and services.

The volunteer program offers a wonderful training opportunity for those interested in making a career of the fire service. Over the years, Key Peninsula has hired several of our volunteers as career firefighters.

We typically recruit volunteers on an annual basis, depending on the needs of the department. 
Thanks for your interest, visit our website regularly for opportunities.
