WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR … YOU!

​

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN JOINING THE POWELL TOWN VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT!

​

Answer the Call

​

Every day, Powell Town Volunteer Fire Department firefighters answer the call of our families, friends, and neighbors who need assistance. Volunteer Firefighters are a special type of people, with many different reasons for answering the call of duty. Some like the challenges and the adrenaline rush, while others like to sharpen their emergency skills and techniques. Every one of them volunteers to help someone in need.
 
Serving your community as a volunteer firefighter provides our citizens with a valuable service and can bring personal rewards as well; including personal growth, the development of leadership skills, and a tremendous sense of accomplishment for a job well done. From car accidents to fires, firefighters are there to protect our lives and property.

​

Some of the benefits of serving as a volunteer for the Powell Town Volunteer Fire Department include:

• Training in firefighting and medical rescue

• Opportunity to give back to the community

• Admiration and respect from citizens

• Sense of pride and accomplishment

• Inspiration to family and peers

• Veterans can find the camaraderie they miss from their service branch

• Unique experiences and a worldwide fellowship deeply rooted in tradition

Beyond firefighting and emergency medical response, we also provide Support Services to our membership. During those extended medical calls, long firefighting, or incidents in the summer heat, our department dispatches personnel to ensure the proper hydration and wellbeing of our firefighters. This is a wonderful way for citizens, young and old, to participate alongside the firefighters. In addition to supporting department personnel on responses and training, the Auxiliary hosts several events supporting our members throughout the year.
