Can You Fill The Boots of a

Volunteer Firefighter?

   

 

It takes a special person to fill the boots of a volunteer firefighter

Did you know that nearly 80% of America’s fire service is volunteer? Being a volunteer firefighter takes a person with a desire to do something good for the community - a person with courage and dedication. It takes a person who isn’t afraid of hard work and who is willing to accept a challenge.

 If you are this kind of person, you’re needed as a volunteer firefighter. We might be able to fit you with a pair of these boots.
