Volunteer
firefighters are needed around Porter County to help serve and protect the
residents that call Porter County home. There are over a dozen Volunteer
Fire Departments that serve Porter County, providing fire protection and
Emergency Medical Services that are in need of volunteers to become the next
first responder to answer the call for help.
Liberty Township
Volunteer Fire Department, like many, is looking for volunteers with a
desire to help serve their community.
The Northwest
Indiana District 1 Firefighter Recruit Academy is expected to start August
17. The academy meets three times a week in the evening hours, for
applicants to master both the mental and physical skills necessary for the
job.
Recruits can expect
to learn real-life skills in life-saving CPR, Structural Firefighting,
Hazardous Material Awareness and Operations, Technical Rescue Awareness, and
many more skills! Best part about the academy is that it is free!
Recruits must be at
least 18 years of age to apply and have a reliable means of transportation.
Other conditions apply and can be found on the application. Applications can
be picked up at the Liberty fire department, located at 47 West 900 North
just across the street from the Liberty Schools.
Those interested
are highly encouraged to get their application in as soon as possible.
Applications can also be downloaded from
www.libertytrustee.com/fire-department.
