What it takes to become a Volunteer Firefighter

It takes a special person to fill the boots of a volunteer firefighter. It starts with the desire to help, and the courage to act. It requires dedication, responsibility, hard work and the willingness to learn and accept the challenges of a difficult job. It requires someone who considers respect and appreciation reward enough.

The best place is a shed, away from the house, in metal cabinet properly labeled with flammable markings.
