The volunteer Fire service could use more volunteers now more then ever.

* Volunteer fire departments across the United States are facing a critical and growing shortage of manpower, a crisis that has intensified as call volumes have tripled in the last 30 years. The number of volunteer firefighters dropped to a historic low of 676,900 in 2020, down from nearly 900,000 in 1984, with the trend continuing into 2025-2026.

* New York State reports volunteer numbers at their lowest in 40 years, with several departments forced to close in the past year.
