Joining a volunteer fire department can be very rewarding and will provide an opportunity for you to make a difference in the community. Volunteers are special people that come from all walks of life but share in common goals. Most volunteers want to help others and see their own lives grow with the excitement of achieving goals. The Alum Creek VFD needs volunteers for many different positions and activities, you don't have to fight fires to serve on our department. Please check the membership section of our site for more details.
