GET INVOLVED

Here is an opportunity to do something that will

 

Impact The Community!

 

Help us make a difference

 

There are many ways to volunteer,

from walking door to door distributing smoke detectors to helping with fundraising events.

Here are ways you can help:

BECOME A VOLUNTEER

To become a member of the Arkabutla Volunteer Fire Department you must:

 

1. Live in our fire district.

2. Be at least 16 years old.

3. Have someone on the department   that is willing to sponsor you.

 

If you are not sure whether or not you live in our district, ask one of our firemen. 

 

Once you have a sponsor on the department, they will get an application for you. 

 

Applicants under 18 years old are considered Junior Firemen and can only participate in certain type calls.

There are ways to volunteer other than joining the department.  Helping with Fundraisers is one example. Fundraisers are required because the funds we receive from the county can only be used for equipment.  The fundraisers we hold provide funds for fuel, repairs, and utilities for our fire stations.

 

Our primary fundraiser for the department is the concession stand at Trade Days in Coldwater during the June event.  We always need help whether it is setting things up, cooking, or taking orders.

 

At times we hold other fundraisers during the year.  For example, bake sales, selling BBQ plates, etc.  Donating items for these events or giving of your time to be there to help is another way to volunteer.
