We Offer 6 Great Ways to Serve
For individuals 18 years of age and older who have an interest in exploring the exciting world of firefighting and emergency medical services, we provide the required training to ensure you feel competent and confident in all the ways you serve. Not only is all the training free to you, but most of it is offered in-house by one of our many state-certified instructors. Regardless, we will be right alongside you the entire journey, offering all the support you need as you develop into a certified firefighter and contributing member.
Fayetteville Fire & EMS offers unique and fulfilling opportunities to volunteer and serve your community:

- EMT or Paramedic – Care for the sick and injured, providing basic or advanced emergency medicine.
- Driver/Apparatus Operator – Drive and operate fire apparatus, ambulances, or one of our other specialized rescue vehicles.
- Fire Corps – Serve in a variety of non-emergency, non-response functions that support the operations and outreach programs of the fire department. Fire Corps volunteers are not on-call like their responder counterparts but serve during unscheduled times and scheduled events.
