Membership & Volunteer
Join us, and become a member
The Ogden Dunes Volunteer Fire Department consists of volunteer personnel that respond to emergencies and work to prevent emergencies before they happen through fire prevention and community safety education. Few jobs offer you the chance to save a life, but as a volunteer firefighter, you could be called upon to do so at a moment's notice.
The women and men that make up our Fire Department share a common interest - the desire to help others in need. But to be a good firefighter, you will need more than just a desire to help people. You will also need courage, dedication, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn new skills and face new challenges.
Our volunteers care for all lives! Take the step and join now. YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU!
