About VolunteerFirefighter.org

Who We Are

Since our founding, VolunteerFirefighter.org has served as the national bridge connecting dedicated individuals with fire departments across the United States, with our headquarters proudly based in Meridian, Idaho. We specialize in helping fire departments, especially in rural areas, recruit and retain volunteer firefighters to strengthen community safety nationwide.


Our platform addresses the critical challenge of declining volunteer firefighter numbers caused by changing demographics, more stringent training demands, and increasing time constraints facing today's communities.


At VolunteerFirefighter.org, we believe in connecting passionate individuals with meaningful opportunities to serve their communities while supporting departments that desperately need reliable volunteers.

Our Story

We established VolunteerFirefighter.org to tackle a growing crisis: the steady decline of volunteer firefighters across America's rural and small-town communities. Through strategic partnerships and dedicated outreach, we've built a comprehensive network that serves departments from coast to coast.


Our growth has been driven by the urgent need for community safety solutions, particularly in areas where professional fire services aren't financially feasible. We've developed strong relationships with organizations that share our commitment to emergency response excellence.


We're proud to support fire departments nationwide through our partnerships with SAFER Grants and BAER programs, helping secure funding and benefits that make volunteer service more attractive and sustainable.
