Recruit Resources
Firefighter recruits are those individuals who have the desire, drive, determination, dedication, and devotion to serve their community through volunteer service as a firefighter. Recruits who enroll in the academy are newly appointed volunteer firefighters with their member agencies. They must successfully complete the academy in order to progress further with their respective departments.
Many individuals who enroll in the academy are searching for a career in the fire service as a full time paid firefighter. They enroll in the academy to gain the initial training that will lead them down that path through ongoing training and certification with their sponsoring agency. They gain volunteer experience with their district in order to learn the profession.
