Becoming a Member!
After the meeting with the membership committee your name will be presented to the members, at the next business meeting. The membership committee will contact you with the results.
Members without any prior firefighting experience will need to complete basic firefighting training classes. All required training classes are made available at no cost to members and have varying availability to accommodate most people’s schedules. All firefighters receive basic firefighting training by certified instructors at local accredited training facilities. Additional training is offered in advanced firefighting, vehicle rescues, and pump operation and in other specialized areas that further enhance our skill set. Besides attending training offered at the fire school and responding to emergency calls, members meet the first Tuesday of the Month for business meeting and the 2nd,3rd and 4th Tuesday for training.
Once a member has attained certain minimum levels of training, they are then able to participate in fire suppression and rescue operations. After additional training, members become apparatus drivers and operators. There are many opportunities for members to participate in various fire company activities and committees such as fire prevention and education and fund raising and training. There are over ten different committees that a member can participate in. Members may also have many opportunities to serve the fire company in many administrative and officer positions. Volunteer members of the Silverdale Fire Company are expected to participate on a regular basis within the limits of their personal schedules.
