Volunteer Employment

MountainView Fire is recruiting volunteer firefighters.

We are looking for men and women with the desire and dedication to serve their community in this critical role.

Once you join our team, you will receive thorough and intense training in:
Structural Firefighting
Wildland Firefighting
Emergency Medical Response
Hazardous Materials
Vehicle Extrication

This will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. We would like to sit down with you, answer your questions, and have you meet the firefighters who serve your community today. You will get to meet some of your future team members and we will give you a tour of the station. Please call our administrative office and ask to leave a message for one of the District's Volunteer Officers or email us directly.
