Fire Corps
Template:Short description Fire Corps is an American volunteer program which is designed to connect community members with their local fire/EMS departments to help with non-emergency tasks. This includes fire prevention education, administration, providing canteen services at incidents, vehicle and equipment maintenance, fundraising, translation services, preplanning assistance, and more. On a national level, Fire Corps is managed by the National Volunteer Fire Council.
Fire Corps was launched in 2004[1] under the national Citizen Corps initiative, the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s grassroots strategy designed to bring together government and community leaders to involve citizens in all-hazards emergency preparedness and resilience.
The Fire Corps web site serves as a gateway to information, resources, training, and networking opportunities for fire/EMS departments as well as community members interested in non-operational volunteer opportunities with their local department. Departments can post their Fire Corps program’s volunteer opportunities and community members can find a local opportunity through the Make Me A Firefighter volunteer opportunities database managed by the National Volunteer Fire Council.
