What is A Volunteer?
Making a difference, responding to the call of service, having fun, using or developing skills, and belonging to a team. These are just a few reasons why some people choose to volunteer.
Volunteering is more than filling out an application or responding to emails. It's about using your time, a precious commodity, to support your community, an organization, or a cause that's important to you. People volunteer for a variety of reasons, including the desire to help others. Most people find themselves in need at one time or another. Today you may be the one who can help, but tomorrow, you may be in need of someone else's volunteer efforts.
Many people feel that they have nothing to contribute, especially to a fire department. Not true! Everyone has a talent, skill, or ability that would be respected and appreciated! There are many outstanding organizations and groups of people providing volunteer opportunities across the US and within the CNY community. Why consider the Borodino Volunteer Fire Department? Could we be a good fit for you? Yes!! Borodino is always looking for emergency volunteers and first responders. These are the unsung heroes that are the backbone of the department. These men and women receive specialized training and are equipped to respond in emergency situations 24/7. Community members from various professions find that firefighting and EMS are a natural fit with their jobs or smoldering interests. While some Borodino volunteers do have careers in the medical field, most come from other walks of life. Either way, each are dedicated, highly proficient individuals that receive top-notch training and the equipment necessary to serve our community. Sometimes it takes just a spark, but perhaps this level of service is for you.
If becoming a firefighter or EMT is not your passion, Borodino is always looking for men and women of all ages who can provide the behind-the-scene support that enables a fire department to run effectively and efficiently. If you have the ability to flip a pancake, greet visitors, or have another skill to share, then the Borodino Volunteer Fire Department has a place for you! We'd love to have you join our team!
