So You Want to Become a Firefighter?

The Medina Fire Department is always looking for new members. 

Being a firefighter and/or EMT is very rewarding.  You will become a role model or "hero" in the community.  Be it responding to a medical emergency or a house on fire, the community relies on the fire department to be there in their time of need and act in a professional, well-trained manner.

As a "Call Firefighter," you are a volunteer who earns a small stipend for your service.  Call Firefighters respond to the station or scene when alerted by pager of a call.  Call Firefighters are also encouraged to volunteer for shifts at the station or to "bunk-in" overnight and respond with the career staff on-duty.

To be considered for membership, please download and complete a Call Firefighter Application (under Files) and return it to Firefighter Jerry Lewis Jr., recruitment and retention coordinator.
