VOLUNTEER FAMILIES
While there are many challenges in the volunteer fire service, it is also one of the most rewarding ways to help your neighbors. Just as you support your community, Anderson Island Fire Rescue wants to support you! The decision to be a volunteer firefighter is something that will affect both the volunteer and their entire family during their service. Volunteer firefighting goes beyond the average volunteer work. It becomes a lifestyle. Whether you have been a volunteer for years, or a new recruit, it's never too late to prepare your family for the commitment required and explain to them why training, meetings, and other work details are necessary.
