Become a volunteer
We are your neighbors — nurses, students, business owners, trade and craftsmen, lawyers, bankers, corporate executives, town employees, stay-at-home moms and dads, grandmothers, grandfathers, and more. Our oldest member served continuously for 62 years; our youngest member is a high school senior who hopes to attend the US Military Academy at West Point next year. Our volunteers have received local, regional and national recognition for their dedication and results.
We currently have 100 active members, 24 of whom are certified Emergency Medical Technicians. Some members are exclusively firefighters, other members choose to certify in both capacities. We are always looking for new volunteers! If you’re interested in a little hard work, a strong sense of community, the benefits and excitement of learning new skills and have a desire to help neighbors in a time of need, consider joining us. Stop by the firehouse on a Monday evening to learn how you can be part of something special in Simsbury. You’ll be warmly welcomed.
