Training is a necessary component for being a volunteer firefighter. Many training opportunities, with a huge emphasis on safety, are offered throughout the year. Volunteer firefighters are expected to continue training throughout their career.

Physical fitness is a necessary part of being a volunteer firefighter. Oracle Fire District has a fitness center and all firefighters are expected to use it, or find other ways to stay physically fit.

Firefighting is not for everyone. Being a volunteer firefighter requires a huge time commitment, can be physically demanding and can be dangerous.

Those few who can handle these challenges will be rewarded with the satisfaction of being able to help others when they most need it.
