VOLUNTEERING
Volunteers are offered a variety of benefits from Brunswick County Fire and EMS agencies.  These include: free or discounted training, free turnout gear and uniforms, Fireman or Squad Person of the Year Recognition, and the ability to use volunteer affiliation on college, job, and other applications.  Volunteers also receive a free county decal for their service to Brunswick County. 

In addition to these benefits, volunteers are challenged daily as they participate in fire and EMS activities.  Volunteering is exciting, rewarding, and promotes personal growth.  Many volunteers find themselves seeking careers in the fire/EMS profession, and training and experience gained as a volunteer makes individuals more marketable in the fire and EMS profession.
