Eastern Pines Fire-Rescue-EMS | Station 34

Membership Opportunities

Eastern Pines Fire/Rescue/EMS is a volunteer agency that relies heavily upon the talents of dedicated individuals willing to donate their time to their community. Becoming a volunteer firefighter and/or EMT can be an exciting and rewarding experience. No former training is required, and all equipment and training will be provided to you free of charge.

If you are interested in serving your community as a volunteer firefighter or EMT with Eastern Pines, there are several options you can choose from to get started on this exciting adventure:

Complete the membership inquiry form, to the right, for the division(s) you are interested in joining;

Stop by the station and fill out one of the membership inquiry cards located in the breezeway of the fire department;

Attend one of the monthly business meetings held on the fourth Monday of every month at 6:30pm (for the Fire Division) or the first Monday of every month at 7:00pm (for the EMS Division).

The EMS Division also offeres an observer ride-along program, for perspective members who are deciding if the EMS field is right for them. If you are interested in a ride-along as an observer, use the contact us form to request more information. Complete the release form and bring with you once a ride-along has been scheduled.

NOTE: Although many members are cross-trained as firefighters and EMTs, and serve with both divisions, membership with both divisions is not required.
