Why Lexington County Fire Service?

Volunteer opportunities are abundant with the Lexington County Fire Service. The Volunteer Firefighter system is designed to balance the demands of the working professional with one’s desire to serve the community. After completing the Firefighter Training Program, volunteer service can be done in several different ways – not just through call response. Volunteers are encourage to back fill openings on shifts, work as on duty personnel, and are compensated for thier time. Of course, call response is a major need and is encouraged; but Volunteer Firefighters are not only welcomed but encouraged to participate in community events, fire prevention efforts, and any other departmental activities.
