DURHAM — Durham Fire-Rescue is looking for new members. People with a desire to hep, an interest in serving the community and those who want to be part of a committed team dedicated to keeping people safe will find a place on the team.
Durham Fire-Rescue is a volunteer organization with a proud history of being an outstanding community-focused public safety department. This isn’t a social club. Members are dedicated professionals who have committed countless hours to be ready for any emergency. Members enjoy benefits of all kinds, ranging from compensation for training and emergency responses to the feeling of being part of a real team that is committed to the safety and well-being of their community.
Don’t worry about not having any experience, it’s not necessary. Between in-house training and courses that the organization will help new members attend, those joining will be provided with everything needed to support and protect the community in a time of need.
The many ways to help include:
* Fire Explorer: For those in the community between the ages of 14 and 18, Durham Fire-Rescue has a junior member program designed to inspire and develop the interest for young people in the community to see the challenges and rewards of a career in public safety, whether it is as a voluntary member or as a full-time job.
* Emergency Vehicle Operator: Driving and operating fire apparatus and rescue vehicles in emergency and non emergency settings.
* Emergency Medical Technician: Become a licensed health care provider trained in prehospital medical and trauma care and transport.
* Interior Firefighter: Become a certified structural firefighter. Training will include but is not limited to interior firefighting, HAZMAT responses, automobile extrication techniques, water/ice rescue, rope rescue and more.
Many members train in multiple areas, making them eligible for paid daytime shifts if they choose.
