Do You Have What It Takes
Posted: September 25th, 2006 :: Decatur Hamilton Fire Department
You Can Make A DifferenceWe need your help. If it weren’t for volunteers, three - fourths of the United States would be without adequate Fire/EMS protection… Including the community you live in.
Few jobs offer the challenges and rewards that the Decatur-Hamilton Fire/EMS District offers. This business is not for everyone. You need courage, dedication and a willingness to learn new skills. You need to be able to conquer new and diverse challenges.
As a volunteer, you must meet certain requirements to even be accepted. Then you will be trained to react with confidence to all sorts of emergency situations....from assisting a pregnant mother deliver her child to fighting a structure fire to responding to hazardous spills to extricating someone from a car wreck.
The work is not all that glamorous, either. It can be nasty hot and sweaty conditions to shivering cold, blowing and snowing or even an ice storm. It is very strenuous, dirty and often takes place in hazardous situations.
But then, the rewards are incredible.......... if you consider honor, respect and appreciation reward enough.
Saving a neighbor’s home from burning to the ground. Saving a child, your neigbor or even a family member from injury or possible death. Acting with courage in the face of danger. These are the volunteer’s rewards of personal satisfaction.
So, if you have a strong desire to help, stop by the Decatur-Hamilton Fire station and talk to any member or call us at 269-423-2601 or e-mail us at dhfd1400@btc-bci.com
Join the team that protects the dreams in your community. Volunteer today.
