Community Leaders Wanted
April 15, 2013
Are you the person that stops to help someone change a tire? Help someone reach something on the top shelf at HEB? Hold a door open for someone carrying packages? Go out of your way to help someone that you’ve never met before? If so, you are just the type of person we are looking for!
We are the Jollyville Volunteer Fire Department and we’re looking for people who want to do something to help their community. If you are an outgoing, intelligent person who is willing to make the required time commitment, and want to be a major contributor to your community, call or come by the station and we will discuss your possible future as a community servant.
The basic requirements are:
A high school diploma or GED
A valid Texas driver’s license
Valid Texas auto insurance
Ability to attend two Monday night trainings a month
Availability to stay two nights a month at the fire station
Ability to attend 30 hours a month of trainings and calls
Willing to go the extra mile for your neighbor
Now, don’t be scared of the 30 hour commitment. This minimum requirement includes the Monday night trainings, station overnights, community events, public education events and anytime you decide you would like to visit the station.
Call (512-258-1038), check out the website (www.jvfd.org) or just come on by the station (9218 Anderson Mill Road) and we will see if you’ve got what it takes to be a “Community Leader.”
Volunteer Participation Requirements Expanding
May 24, 2010
We finally completed the station move. Station Two is officially retired and all operations have been relocated to Station One. With that, beginning June 1st, we will start the two shifts per month of volunteer staffing. This is important due to the fact that, as of June 1st, we will also be reducing paid staffing to 5 firefighters. This means that the volunteers on shift will no longer be extra personnel: you will be required staffing.
