Have you ever considered being a volunteer firefighter but weren't sure what it takes?

Red Lodge Fire Rescue will be hosting a "Firefighter for a Day" event where members of the public will be able to put on structure firefighting gear, spray water, use equipment, and learn more about what it means to be a volunteer firefighter with Red Lodge Fire Rescue.

You will likely be: lifting, carrying and dragging at least 30lbs, swinging axes, haligans and sledge hammers, and exerting yourself in a range of internal and external environmental conditions - heat, cold, wet, tight and/or dimly lit.

You do not need to have any experience to take part.

Do you have an interest in serving your community? Are you looking for a way to help others and gain new skills? We have a job for you!
