West I-10 Volunteer Information

Application Process

First you must fill out the on-line application.  You will then be contacted to attend an "Orientation" meeting.  At the Orientation meeting you will receive additional information about the West I-10 Fire Department and you will be required to complete  the following documents:

• Fire or EMS Provider Criminal Reporting Form.  (consent for a criminal history check.)
• New Member Application Checklist
• Applicant Consent Form.
  (consent for background checks)

After the Orientation meeting, a criminal history and background check will be performed. 

Upon passing the criminal and background checks, you will be interviewed by the Station Captain from the fire station you would eventually be assigned.

Pending the results of the interview, the Station Captain will present you to the members for a vote into membership as a a "Reserve Member".

As a "Reserve Member" you will begin your training.  The Cadet class meets twice a week and on several weekends.  The class can take up to four months to complete.

After completing the Cadet class you will become a "Probationary" member and can now start responding to emergency calls.
