Volunteer Fire Department Acknowledged Requirements

I acknowledge and understand that application to become a firefighter with the South Lake County Fire Department requires the following commitment:

See Association By-Laws

Selected applicants will be subject to a 12-month probationary period. The following must be completed or accomplished during the 12-month probationary period:

1. Attend 50 percent of monthly meetings (third Wednesday of each month) and bi-monthly drills (second and fourth Wednesdays
2. Attend functions of Fire Department and Association events.
3. Successfully pass company standards, evolutions at training and on the emergency scene.

There may be additional training required after becoming an active member of the Fire Department.

1) Being a firefighter is an emotionally challenging job and provides you with self-respect and self-satisfaction. Firefighting requires continuous training and time. Firefighting demands team effort and respect from each individual firefighter in the department. This position requires considerable time commitment. Serious thought and consideration should be given prior to starting the process and training, insuring and outfitting new firefighter(s) is a huge financial commitment on the fire district.

I have read these requirements and agree to them.
