Northside Fire District Information Bulletin
January 30, 2023:
The Northside Fire District is in "CRITICAL NEED OF VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTERS" to supplement our existing staff of paid firefighters. The District is a "Combination Fire Department", which utilizes both paid and volunteer firefighters for response to emergency incidents. Due to the shortage of personnel, often times only 1 or 2 firefighters are initially able to respond to serious calls such as critical medical incidents, structure fires, vehicle accidents and wildland fires.
If you are interested in starting a new career as a "FIREFIGHTER/EMT" or just want to help your community, give us a call at (208) 265-4114 or you can fill out our application here.
The person you save or help may be a family member or friend.
