If you want to help make a difference in our communities but do not want to be actively involved in Fire or EMS responses, there are still many opportunities to help! Every agency has to maintain readiness, support the members, handle administrative details, and more. Volunteers can help in all those aspects and each agency has their own policies to handle that. Some call them auxiliary, others call them social or administrative members. Please fill out the form and describe how you would like to help today.
Absolutely not! You can volunteer for a fire department and an ambulance service at the same time and we have many members who do this already. You can also join a fire department that runs EMS First Responders.
Under NYS law, you can volunteer with only one fire department at a time and there are residency restrictions for fire districts, however there is no state law that restricts how many ambulance services you can join or places any residency restrictions on ambulance services. However, each agency can make their own restrictions and you may need to schedule yourself to be at the base if you live too far away.
We recommend that you talk to the agency you are interested in and see how they can work with you.
