• Willingly answer the call when someone is in need.

We also offer one of the greatest fire prevention programs in the State of Utah and see our outreach programs as vital to connecting with and educating our community on fire prevention and safety.

Our members are diverse and bring different skills, qualifications, and interests that all contribute to our team. In addition to firefighting, you may find you have a specialty interest such as excelling at the equipment side, training, public outreach, children's facility tours, parades, hazardous materials response, emergency assist and extrication.

While this is a volunteer position, you'll enjoy some benefits including:

• Enrollment in our Length of Service Award Plan that provides you with a monthly payment upon attaining age 65;
• Life Insurance;
• Line of duty death, impairment, and other covered benefits;
• Free mental health services for you, your spouse, eligible dependents;

The Tooele Volunteer Firefighter Association and our department committees provide moral-building events and activities that provide you and your family with the opportunity to recreate, create relationships, and feel part of our fire family.

After your application is submitted, you'll receive more information about our department and updates about your status during our selection process. Some years we have several openings and others we're pretty stable. By getting on our roster, we know you want to serve!
