The Lisbon Volunteer Fire Department is currently seeking individuals who want to serve in our community as volunteer Firefighters and Emergency Medical Responders.

Many people volunteer for different reasons. Some people join for the action, they enjoy the excitement and adrenaline rush that EMS offers. Some feel that helping people in the community in their time of need is fulfilling while others feel it’s their obligation to serve the community. Others just want to belong to a team.

LFVC offers many challenging situations from fires to motor vehicle accidents to sick and/or injured people. Your skills may be needed day or night, seven days a week, in any kind of weather, and very often under stressful and emotional circumstances. Yet these factors contribute to our profession being so personally rewarding.

The personal rewards are many. Your sense of accomplishment when you help a sick person or help control a fire or perform a successful extrication at a motor vehicle accident, as a result of your training with us, will be beyond description.

Your participation as a volunteer of LVFC will bring personal rewards and satisfaction, raise self esteem, and provide you with a sense of accomplishment and pride for a job well done. It also provides the community with a valuable service that has the potential to touch us all.

However, becoming a member of the Lisbon Volunteer Fire Department requires a commitment. Your decision to submit an application to join our organization should not be made hastily. The services provide by our volunteers requires trainings and numerous hours doing so. This training, as well as the safety and services we provide, are truly valuable to the citizens, businesses and visitors of our community.

The bottom line in our business is measured by prevention of loss of life, property and environment we have prevented as being an EMS provider or firefighter.

Volunteering in the Fire and Rescue Service is one of the most important decisions you may ever make. We hope that you will give this decision the time and serious consideration it deserves, and will decide to join the Lisbon Volunteer Fire Department.
