WEST HAMILTON BEACH
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Join a legacy of service since 1928. Neighbors helping neighbors.
"We can provide you with the time, the training, the tools, the guidance, and the support... but you have to bring the heart and dedication."
The West Hamilton Beach Fire Department is a 100% volunteer organization. Not a single member is financially compensated for their time; we do this for the safety of our families and our community. We need individuals who are ready to commit their time, energy, and passion to a cause greater than themselves.
Operate on the front lines. You will be trained in structural firefighting, search and rescue, vehicle extrication, and hazardous materials response.
Provide life-saving medical care. If you are an EMT, you lead patient care. If you are not yet an EMT, you can join as a "Carrier" to assist medical providers and drive the ambulance.
Not everyone needs to run into a burning building to help. We need calm voices on the radio and organized individuals to manage logistics.
While we are volunteers, there are significant perks to membership.
We provide all necessary training, including Fire Academy and EMT certification, at no cost to you.
Eligible members receive a $200 NYS Income Tax Credit and a 10% reduction on local Property Taxes.
Join a second family. The bonds formed in the fire service are unlike any other.
