Join Walkertown Fire Department as a Junior Firefighter Volunteer and be a part of something larger than yourself. By participating, you will become a representative of our department and be taught the value of discipline, leadership, honor and community service.

The program will teach you about emergency operational methods and techniques for firefighting, fire prevention and emergency medical services, and how the process of mastering these skills makes for a well-rounded young adult. You will be allowed to participate in hands-on training as well as classroom training. You will learn to perform routine duties such as caring for department equipment and apparatus. The skills you learn and the experience you gain will help prepare you for a future career in Fire/EMS Service, or whatever career path you choose.

Prospective members must be between the ages of 14 and 17 and must be capable of reading and understanding assigned materials. Members must be in good physical health and capable of doing strenuous activities. Each member must remain in school (unless otherwise graduated), maintain at least a C average and have no truancies on his/her record.

After filling out an application, the potential member—with a guardian present—will go through an oral interview process. There will also be a background check and references will be contacted. A medical release form must be signed by the youth’s parent/guardian and personal physician. He/she must also pass a department physical.

You will be dismissed from the program if you are caught possessing or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol at any time, take part in any illegal activities or participate in any actions or behaviors that are judged to be unbecoming of public safety personnel.

Build confidence, earn respect and learn new skills to help you grow as an individual. Learn and practice teamwork and leadership skills.
