Fire Corps promotes the use of citizen advocates to enhance the capacity of fire and rescue departments. By volunteering in a Fire Corps program, citizens can perform non-emergency tasks, allowing first responders to focus on necessary training and critical emergency response situations. Fire Corps also creates a connection between fire/EMS departments and the community, providing a vehicle for citizens to offer service and resources for departments to use ease burdensome tasks.
Fire Corps is the newest program in the Citizen Corps. Currently there is only one Fire Corps program in Utah County, in Woodland Hills. If you are interested in forming one in your area, contact your local officials.

Program Description: We are a totally volunteer fire department. We are in the process of developing Standard Guidelines and Operations Manuals and need citizen volunteers to assist in the collection and development of these materials. Citizens are also needed to assist with grant writing, enforcing local ordinances and regulations, and public education. We are building a new firehouse - it has 6 bays. We have an older pumper, a 2 1/2 ton truck, and a new brush truck.
