The personal rewards and
satisfaction received from the fire and rescue
service are often beyond description. There is a
sense of accomplishment after controlling a
building fire, joy and elation when a child is
born, compassion for accident victims, and
fulfillment in teaching fire safety. However,
this business is not for everyone. In addition
to a desire to help people, you also need
courage, dedication, assertiveness, and a
willingness to face new challenges. Often, our
members are called on to perform hot, sweaty,
dirty, strenuous work, often in uncertain
and hazardous environments.
Men and women living within 2
miles of Windsor Township, age 18 and
older who are in good physical condition, no
criminal record, no illegal substance use, and
have the desire to participate in emergency fire
and/or medical activities are eligible for
membership. There are many levels of
participation in the active membership class.
They are determined by certifications obtained
through various training programs. Those persons
who do not have the desire to participate in
emergency activities, or who cannot meet the
physical requirements for active membership are
encouraged to enter the service as Axillaries
Members. These members contribute to the
volunteer service in the areas of fundraising,
public relations, public education, and
administration — vital functions which support
the Windsor Volunteer Fire Department.
Making a commitment to serve
as a volunteer firefighter is a serious decision
and involves a profound commitment. Your
decision to join us should not be made quickly.
This portion of our web site will provide the
information needed to help you make that
decision. Once you understand what is involved,
we hope you will find that you are able to make
the commitment we need to contribute to the
safety of the community and its citizens. You
will find that participation as a volunteer
member of our service will bring personal
rewards and satisfaction, raise self-esteem, and
give you a tremendous sense of accomplishment
for a job well done.
