Being an emergency service volunteer is rewarding and challenging. If you are up to the task, Camas Valley Rural Fire District is just the place for you. The department offers several ways to serve your community.

Why Volunteer

For those who can envision themselves in this role, and who can set their sights on achieving it, the rewards can be great, and the opportunity to serve is unmatched. Consider the possibility that your or your neighbor’s home is on fire. Who will come to help? How long must we wait? Will they have the education, training, and experience to do the right thing? What has been done to ensure they are available? In a small rural community such as ours, the financial resources are not available to hire the dozens of full-time firefighters that would be necessary to staff around the clock 24/7/365 multiple engine crews to respond to unscheduled events at a moment’s notice. Therefore, volunteers fill this need to a great degree. Many firefighters do what they do simply because their community needs it.

​Many firefighters are living the childhood dream of being a real firefighter. Some do it as a way to start a professional career. Others who have achieved that career, do it as a way to give back to the community and agency that helped them get started. Some take pride in sharing the knowledge and skills they have acquired in challenging circumstances. Many simply enjoy the professionalism shared by these fine individuals. All are members of a special and highly appreciated group in their community.
