The Ross Valley Fire Department's volunteer program currently has 15 active volunteer firefighters from the local community. The volunteer firefighters augment the full-time paid personnel during fires, large incidents, or multiple simultaneous incidents.
To be a volunteer firefighter, you must be at least 18 years old, a local resident, have a valid driver's license, and pass the CPAT (Candidate Physical Ability Test). To apply, visit our headquarters station which is temporarily located at Station 21, 10 Park Road, Fairfax, CA 94930. The next volunteer Training Session will take place on August 4th at Station 20. The session will cover such topics as the proper use of small tools, starting out as a volunteer, and trouble shooting.
