usaflag.gif (10730 bytes)  Even with our 24-hour, 7 day per week on-duty coverage now in effect since January, 2004, we still need volunteers. One reason is that during weekday/daytime hours when most volunteers are at their jobs, a major incident such as a residential fire or multi-vehicle accident requiring extrication can serve to tax the 3-person paid crew on duty. Another reason is that it is extremely difficult to predict how many volunteers will be in the area and available for any given major incident; it is always better to have more qualified volunteers in the queue for a response.

Firefighter volunteers should be in generally good physical condition, and be willing and able to attend ongoing training the first and third Tuesday of each month from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. They should also be willing to respond to pager calls on a demand basis whenever they are in the area and able to assist in the call type.

Please help if you can! Call  Chief Rick Massey at 828-5528, or email him at rmassey@newmellefire.org.
