| Fire/EMS Department Seeks Community Help Since September 11th, fire and emergency service departments all across the nation are struggling with increasing demands for service coupled with reduced funding. In order to respond to these increasing demands and provide more services to the community, the Station 663 Voorhees Volunteer Firefighters have established a Fire Corps Program and we are actively seeking volunteer Associate Members to help out.

Fire Corps creates opportunities for citizens to give back to their community by providing non-emergency assistance to their local Fire/EMS department. From fundraising initiatives, to organizing recruitment/retention campaigns; the Fire Corps has become an invaluable asset to 1st Responders across the country. Help us to help you, your family, neighbors and friends. Some of the roles that the Voorhees Fire Corps will take on: |
• Fundraiser Initiatives

• Website Design
• Post-fire Residential Assistance
• Fire/Emergency Scene Photography (For training purposes)
• Bookkeeping and Administrative Assistance

| Fire Corps, a component of the Department of Homeland Security’s Citizen Corps Program, is a national grassroots effort to increase the capacity of volunteer fire and EMS departments through the use of community volunteers. Fire Corps provides resources for departments to utilize volunteers in non-emergency roles so they can develop implement and sustain programs and services that will help their department meet the needs of their community. Over the last 2 years, the Fire Corps has found its way into many High School’s across the country as a means for students to obtain their community service hours. The Voorhees Fire Corps will provide a way for local Voorhees students to get their required service hours while assisting their Fire Department in keeping the community safe. Help us to uphold our motto of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors.” For more information or to become a Fire Corps Volunteer, email us at FireCorps@VoorheesFire.com For More Information Please visit http://www.firecorps.org/ |
