Hello great people of Lowell and surrounding communities. We are looking for volunteers to join our team and train in on our next Fire Academy. If you or someone you know is interested, please have them stop by the station or call. You or they do not need to live in our community to become a volunteer here. We pay for all your fire training, and it is mostly done within our own station by the staff members. We are looking forward to meeting you. Thank you all for your great support.

This is a link to the packet that will need to be filled out to become a volunteer.
