Normally anyone living in York County or an adjacent surrounding jurisdiction, who is interested in becoming a volunteer, may apply regardless of prior experience. Applicants chosen to become volunteers support career staff and are assigned to the fire station closest to their residence.  Volunteers may choose to serve as firefighters/EMTs or medics/firefighters, and are offered courses for certification in their chosen area. Volunteers may also choose to serve as support members to help out with various non-emergency programs.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, an application is available in a PDF format. You can download a free copy of  Adobe Acrobat Reader  by clicking here  to open the file.
