Fire Corps creates opportunites for citizens to give back to their community by providing non-emergency assistance to their local fire departments. From creating websites to maintaining stations, promoting life safety education or offering administrative assistance, you can help your community become safer and better prepared for natural disasters, terrorist threats and other emergencies.
Fire Corps, a component of the Department of Homeland security's Citizen Corps program, is a national grassroots effort to increase the capacity of fire departments through the use of community members. Fire Corps provides resources for fire departments to utilize citizens in non-emergency roles so they can develop, implement, and sustain programs and services that will help their fire department meet the needs of their community.
