A PROUD TRADITION OF SERVICE
Becoming a volunteer with the Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System is one of the most meaningful things you can do—for your community and for yourself. Our volunteers come from all walks of life, united only by a desire to serve.
Volunteer firefighters are part of a great American tradition of civic participation. Today, some 70 percent of the 1 million firefighters in America are volunteers, whose contribution of time and dedication saves an estimated $150 billion a year.
​
Currently there are approximately 600 operational volunteers in the County and 600 career staff working together to protect the lives and property of residents.
​
No previous experience is necessary. All training is provided, free of cost, at local stations and at the county's own state-of-the-art training facility off Sycolin Road. We will teach you everything you need to know to be a safe and strong contributor to our team. You will receive a combination of on-the-job training and formal instruction. Safety is our Number 1 priority, and we will not put you into a position until you are ready for what is required.
​
If an operational firefighting or EMS role is not for you, there are many other ways to contribute as a Support Services or administrative volunteer.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Support Services members respond to emergency incidents to provide supplies and assistance needed to keep the other first responders operating for extended periods of time. Support Services members remain at home for their duty shifts and respond to the station as needed. Only a few hours of training is required to have you up and running in this important role, staffing the Lucketts VFC's new Support Services F-550, UTV, and climate-controlled trailer.
Operational members serve at Station 610 alongside career staff as firefighters or EMTs. Loudoun County provides free and comprehensive training for volunteer firefighters, from basic training to specialized skills such as water rescue. Volunteer EMTs receive initial training that certifies you at the Basic Life Support level, with advanced training offered up to the Paramedic level.
​​
Administrative members keep the department running day to day in many roles, including event planning, maintenance, website, record-keeping, and more. Everyone has different skills and experience —and we encourage you to use them to help your local fire-rescue department.
