The Norwich Fire Department will host a information training night for those interested in volunteering with them. People will be informed on the pre-requirements, along with compensation.
NORWICH - If you're interested in joining the Norwich Fire Service, they're looking to recruit volunteers.
They'll be looking for a total of five volunteers throughout the region, with an information training night planned for next week.
Lead Public Fire and Safety Educator Derek Van Pagee says there are benefits to joining them.
"To those who are thinking about it, it's a great way to give back to your community, it's a sense of comradery, working together as a team is just unparallel. Let's be honest you get to play with some real cool equipment too and at the end of the day you're a firefighter, so you're going to go in and you're going to see some things you don't necessarily like to see and where everyone else is heading the other way you're going to be heading into something. But at the same time, I think there's great reward in knowing that you're giving back and doing what's right."
Pagee says they're looking to hire one firefighter for the Oxford Centre Hall, two firefighters for the fire hall in Otterville and two for the Norwich Fire Hall.
He says the public will be informed on different topics while in the meeting.
"The Fire Chief will be hosting it and he's actually just going to be going over what our training plan is going to look like for new recruits, what you would all have to do, what are some of the pre-requirements to get into becoming a volunteer firefighter."
He adds people will also learn about what the compensation is for being a volunteer firefighter.
The meeting is set for September 25th.
