“Volunteer first responders help their fellow citizens in times of need. Volunteers enjoy a sense of accomplishment, achievement, and pride in the work they do. You’d learn new skills, make new friends, be a part of a team, give back to the community, and make a real difference.”
At the Yerington/Mason Valley Fire Protection District, seasoned veterans train & certify each new volunteer in the area they would like to serve: all aspects of fire fighting, operating the engine, support operations/auxiliary, scene safety, equipment testing & maintenance, instruction, emergency medical services, ambulance attendants, communications, internet technology & social media, event planning & implementing, incident command, chef/food preparation duties, bagpipes & drums corps, etc.
Volunteers receive extensive training & support before they are “put on the front lines”. Some volunteers go on to become professional fire fighters, Emergency Medical Technicians, and paramedics after getting experience and priceless education & training.
PLEASE MAKE TIME TO VOLUNTEER: YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!
Call 775-463-2261 or stop by 118 S Main Street in Yerington. Get answers to your questions and start making time for your community!
