Neighborhood, Reserve, and Resident Volunteer Firefighters; and Support Services Members are the backbone of what we do and who we are. Without the participation and the high level of dedication by these members, the services provided by Fire District 10 would be considerably different. Our ability to gain, maintain, and train new volunteers is a direct measurement of our ability to perform the essential functions of the District. Thus, we offer five great ways for you to serve to match your availability, personal goals, and lifestyle.

In return, they are asked to work shifts to cover nights, weekends, and holidays. The service they provide is driven by professionalism and the desire to serve the community while being given the privilege to live within the firehouse. Some look at the program as a great way to get their housing needs met while in school while others view it as an apprenticeship of sorts serving as an important stepping stone on their career path.
