Firefighter volunteers choose to volunteer because they have a passion for serving their community, helping others in times of need, and making a positive impact. They may also find fulfillment and satisfaction in the adrenaline rush and the sense of camaraderie that comes with being a firefighter. Volunteering allows them to contribute their skills and expertise while also gaining valuable experience and training.

∙ 8y agoSome people will do it to get the training and experience they need to further the volunteering to a career with a paid department. Some people also just want to help out in their community.
If nobody is willing to volunteer, then nobody is there to help in the community when it is needed.
Some of the other reasons that I have heard often from candidates through the years, in no particular order, are:
- To learn new skills.
- To fulfill a family tradition (mom, dad, grandpa, uncle, was a firefighter).
- Interest in public safety as a potential career field.
- To be a part of a team.
- Someone in the F.D. talked to them, and they were so excited about it that it sounded pretty neat.
- To gain excitement and experiences.
- To develop a future career/build resume.
- To pursue firefighting as a career field.
