The Clark County Fire Department is seeking volunteer firefighters to help serve in rural parts of the county.
There are 10 volunteer fire stations throughout the county, with close to 120 people who make up the volunteer firefighters.
Participants will go through training that’s held over three weekends twice a year, starting in March and September, and about 20 hours of online courses.
Training includes hazmat and exterior firefighting skills.
“We count on our volunteers to provide vital emergency services to our rural communities,” Clark County Fire Chief John Steinbeck said in a news release. “We are very grateful for their willingness to both train and respond when needed.”
About 75% of the volunteers are residents and respond to calls in the communities they call home.
