About this Opportunity

I hope this finds you well. I want to express our sincere gratitude for your interest in volunteering with a Fire Department in Northern Virginia. Your willingness to dedicate time and effort to our community is truly commendable.

At GSVFD, our volunteers play a crucial role in both administrative and operational capacities. It's a unique opportunity that allows you to contribute significantly to our community's safety and well-being. As part of your involvement, you'll be expected to participate in various activities, including bingo shifts and other fundraising events. These initiatives are vital for supporting our operations and equipment needs.

Operationally, as a volunteer, you will be actively involved in responding to emergencies, which is both challenging and rewarding. The initial commitment requires an average of 20 hours per week during your first year. This time is essential for gaining experience and understanding the intricacies of our operations.

After completing EMT school, you will have more flexibility in managing your schedule. This training is crucial as it equips you with the skills needed to effectively respond to medical emergencies, a significant aspect of our service to the community.

We understand that this level of commitment requires careful consideration. Therefore, we kindly ask that if you reside within 20 minutes of Springfield, Virginia, are over 18, and will be in the area and can commit for two years before you apply. If you are still interested in joining our dedicated team, please fill out this form https://vms.fcvfra.org/recruitment.cfm?action=info. We would be delighted to discuss the next steps and answer any questions you may have.

Thank you once again for considering volunteering with GSVFD. Your interest in serving the community is truly inspiring, and we look forward to potentially having you on our team.
