Volunteer Firefighter Program

The mission of the Highlands Fire Department Volunteer Program is to support and enhance the provision of superior emergency service to the community.

The Volunteer Program has the following goals:

1. Provide additional staffing and critical support functions during times of real and/or potential demand for service.
2. Provide a qualified pool of applicants that might be integrated into full-time staff positions.
3. Provide opportunties for the individual volunteer to maximize their contributions to the District.
4. Recognize the value of volunteers by providing the means, equipment, support, and training for them to make meaningful contributions to the District.

The Highlands Fire District accepts applications for Volunteer Firefighters on a year round basis; however, the typical periods for review and volunteer position offers occur in April and October. A mandatory mini-academy will be held to orientate all Volunteers to the Highlands Fire District.

Applicants must have the following qualifications:

• U.S. Citizen, 18 years old or older, High School Diploma or equivalent;
• Valid Driver's License; 
• Firefighter I & II Certification;
• EMT Certification; 
• Basic Wildland Firefighter Certification;
• Hazardous Materials Training; and 
• Must reside within 30 minutes response time to HFD.
