WHAT IF...
No One Answered the Call?

Volunteers make up the vast majortity of all emergency service personnel nationwide. Over the last 10 years, that number has steadily decreased leaving our communities, your community vulnerable. If you are interested in volunteering, call (800) FIRE-LINE (1-800-3473-5463), or visit the National Volunteer Fire Council website.
