New Members Print this page We have 2 types of Membership that you can apply for:
1. Associate Membership- These members are support personnel that help with fund-raisers, help cleanup after big calls and support the firefighters and EMTs on major incidents with rehab supplies. These members are eligible to receive the same county benefits, but do not get issued all of the equipment that the Firefighters and EMTs receive. These members do not have to take training and do not respond to emergency calls.
2. Active Firefighter or EMT Membership- These members perform the same duties as the associates with the exception that you continually train and respond to emergencies.
What it takes to become a member of Powhatan Volunteer Fire Department Company 1:
Once you have completed the application and the background check is submitted to the Fire Secretary, your application goes on the board at Fire Station 1. At our monthly meeting, on the 3rd Monday of every month, you need to be present and your application will be read. Once your application has been read, it will be posted on the board at the station for 1 month until the next meeting. Finally, your application will be read a final time at the meeting and you will be voted in to the company, provided your DMV check & Background Check come back clear.
The next step in the process is you are put on 6 months of probation and we get you all of your equipment and pay for you to attend classes to get Certified as a Firefighter I or Emergency Medical Technician. Both of these courses are around 100 hours each.
We require our members to meet the following requirements in a 12 month period:
Active Firefighter or EMT Membership:
Associate Membership: - Attend 1 Company Fund-raiser. -Obtain at least 24 work hours at the company. This is what you get out of being a volunteer for the county of Powhatan:
To see what we do check out the Recruitment Video on the Video Link.
If you are still interested in becoming a Volunteer please email us.
