Do you want to make a difference in your community? Do you have the courage to make decisions that will save someone’s life? If so, you should think about becoming a volunteer firefighter.

Lancaster County Fire Rescue is looking for committed men and women to join its 18 local fire departments. Each department serves a portion of Lancaster County, SC and responds to a variety of emergency and non-emergency calls. On a daily basis, our volunteer firefighters respond to fires, vehicle accidents, and medical emergencies. They also deliver public fire prevention and safety programs to schools, civic organizations, churches, and other public events.

As a volunteer firefighter, you’ll get to help your community while taking advantage of training, education, and many other benefits. But these things can’t compare to the satisfaction you’ll get from knowing that you’re helping your community stay safe.

When you volunteer to become a firefighter, you become a member of our family. It’s a family that extends across the country and around the world. It’s a brotherhood and sisterhood where everyone shares a common goal of responding to and helping those in their time of greatest need. It’s a family committed to the belief that all lives matter.
