Auxiliary volunteers make public presentations on fire prevention, fire safety, careers in firefighting, health and safety. Some Fire Auxiliary members are advisors in our Explorer program assisting with the development and leadership training of our youth. Auxiliary members may assist with record keeping at fire stations or at the Fire Services Administration office. Auxiliary members may assist with Fire Services fund-raising projects. Auxiliary members are not permitted to respond to or perform any duties at a fire or emergency scene.
Auxiliary volunteers receive training for all functions they are asked to perform.
Candidates must be between 14 and 18 years old. Explorers learn basic firefighting and first responder skills and often participate in community-related projects such as fire prevention and recruitment activities. Explorers are not permitted to enter burning buildings or administer emergency medical treatment. Must be in good physical condition. If you have any questions in regard to the application process, volunteer classifications, or benefits of a volunteer with Volusia County Fire Services, please contact the Fire Science Institute at any of the numbers listed on the front of this application.
